Today we just stayed local, and went to a few of the local sites. After yesterday we didn’t want to stray too far from home!
Again, mainly photos rather than words. Our first stop was a store to stock up on Cadbury’s chocolate and some British biscuits (cookies). We also grabbed some goodies for lunch and headed out to Neptunes Staircase. This is a series of 8 locks on the Caledonian Canal, lifts (or drops) boats 20m (64ft). If you look at a map of Scotland, you will see the North is actually separated from the South by water. It is possible to sail from the North Sea through to the Atlantic.
The scenery is ever changing here at the whim of the weather, the 2 pictures below were taken 10 minutes apart
We headed off to a small marina with some smaller locks and birds.
We then headed back to the house, our hearts dropped as we approached the main road back to Spean Bridge as there was an electronic sign with an Accident Alert on it! Fortunately the accident was on a road about 20 miles beyond our destination.
