Nessie
... The Loch was perfectly flat and it is very dark in color, the gentleman doing the guide talk said this was because of the stain from bracken etc that washes into it, apparently visibility is only about 3 meters.

Tomorrow I am going on a walking tour and maybe even a ghost tour at night, unless I go for dinner with Jade. That is yet to be decided, which I love. Have I mentioned how much I love not planning anything in advance? hehehe
