Nessie
... to snow quite heavily,we all went outside and well snowballs at 20 paces did occur with Sarah getting a good one in on G. The girls and I got brave and went around to the back of the Abbey in the dark to the monks graveyard, it was really eerie in the snow, Sarah took a few photos with her camera and when the flash went off it was a funny red glow and we got a bit spooked and sort of hurried back to the apartment without looking ...

We arrived at our accommodation after driving through the Highlands and plenty of snow. The Highland Club is an old converted Abbey .

Sudden stop when we see an impressive castle ruin on Loch Alsh near Dornie. Great ...

You can get pancakes in the bakery section, wrapped up in a bag like you were buying bagels! It's amazing. There are even microwaves so you can heat them up. Ashee was a happy little girl.
