Day 2 (C) Inverness

Today I had some serious distance to cover (70 miles) to Inverness. I was lucky again with the weather at the start of the day, but there were some serious climbs ahead of me. Even so you've still got to love the scenery in the highlands and the castles that seem to be everywhere, like this one at ???:

I managed to find a really nice restaurant/pub overlooking the sea where I ate a much needed lunch of soup and lasagne. However, the joys of Scottish rain fall then decided to pay me a visit. The first of many wet days I was to experience on route! I eventually got into Inverness at 20:00, thanks to the Sherlock Holmes audio books on my iPod, which passed away the time! Being Scotland I had a very hearty Mac Donald's dinner, then settled into the worst night sleep of the entire trip, thanks to the luxuries of Inverness's youth hostel dorm and their supposed 'top quality facilities'.
