Day 15 & 16 - Inverness / Isle of Skye



So yesterday we did the tourist thing and went shopping.  The boutique shops have great people that are so friendly it's great.  The touristy shops have younger people that have no interest in you.  Anyway we picked up some trinkets then went over to a castle near by.  This was a unique castle cause some one lives there over half the year.  So you see period furniture but also newer stuff.  They had a new and old kitchen.  The gardens were very nice, but I think I'm a sucker for color.

Today we decided to get a car.  After planning the train we found a few of the legs we had not booked yet were 6x more expensive than before.  So Joe was comfortable if he got an automatic he could handle the wrong side of the road.  So anyway we picked up the car and drove to the Isle of Sky.  The scenery was very nice but the most impressive thing I saw was a water fall.  So imagine a standard smaller waterfall, then dark rocks contrasted with a nice green grass and moss covering 50% of them. Then the water flowing over the rocks and around them.  The water with the other colors seemed like this vibrant white. It was great.  Tonight we are in Oban.  Tomorrow we see puffins!
