Minirolls Musings

Double Cheesecake & Dancing

After an acceptable breakfast, Aimi spent some time cleaning her gigantic screen having realised it’s unusable when road crud gets on it. We decided to take the direct route, avoiding the motorway and Glasgow… because Glasgow. This meant we were up into the hills on small roads straight away which challenged Adam.

Prep For Rain

It seems everyone has come around to my way of thinking at last. It’s only taken 17 years…

I’ve had an (air quotes) “adventure” bike since 2009 and never looked back. And while I spend an alarming amount of time drooling at the BMW K1100 cafe racer custom bikes on Facebook market place, I’ve never bought one. This is mostly because it’s really hard to buy something you know isn’t going to be as good as something you’ve already got. Even if it’s all about “the experience”…

So Soggy I Swam

Starting the day, the Scottish way again with a nice big breakfast.

Daito Meets The Sea

The dogs rose before dawn, so naturally, so did we. 7am and it was still pitch black outside but routine is routine and apparently I’m not getting out of it even on holiday.

Dog Bed

Our first campervan night with Daito was actually great! Aimi was a little worried he wouldn’t settle, but the long drive was obviously tiring. He’s also got the hang of his bed under ours.

Heading North

Oh what a long bloody way “actual” Scotland is. Not the border. That came and went an hour ago. But proper mountains and forests and lochs.

Following Us Home

Well the day to leave has come at last and since we had spent the previous evening packing up there was not much to do, but leave.

We put everything in the cars did a final sweep of the house enjoying it for the last time and then head on out.

Packing in the Touristing

Today is the last day we get to pretend to be Lairds of the Highlands. So this is also the last day we can go souvenir shopping and sightseeing.

Chill Out

After our incredible wedding day and then an epic adventure yesterday, we need a more relaxed day today. We also had to return the Landrover to Inverness so after breakfast Aimi and I set off to do that.

Stags And Crags

My first morning as a married man started by me burning the croissants that Hannah had brought. Using an Aga takes a bit of practice it turns out. But after people had found food I hadn’t turned to charcoal, we head off to the coffee bothy again. Kevin and Sonya had kindly offered to show us their Highland coos.
