Day 10 : Glenlivet to Inverness
Unfortunately we had to leave our little country cottage early to get to Inverness for our Loch Ness cruise. Inverness was a nice city, clean and reportedly safe. Our tour of Loch Ness happened to fall on a beautiful day and the views were amazing. We did not however catch a glimpse of Nessie. Although, Rob thinks he got an unintentional picture of her.
We stopped in a pub after we disembarked and met up with some Canadians. They were from Edmonton and were spending about four weeks in Scotland. I don't remember a whole lot of what they said. I guess that's the nature of small talk.
When we checked into our Airbnb the hostess had an apparent interest in witches. She had copies of a magazine called, "Pagen," many figurines and dolls of witches and she wore dangly pentacle earrings. She was an odd little lady and as Rob described her, "a dingbat" because she struggled to make change. Our room had a disturbing Alice in Wonderland motif and low vaulted ceilings I would bump my head on. Our witchy hostess also apparently had a penchant for automatic AirWick air fresheners placed in areas around the house. They would intermittently let off their plastic musty odor and the sound would make me jump.
I was glad to check out.
