Road Trip Around Loch Ness

Another chance to escape Shambala for the day & Bec & I took the opportunity without hesitation. We planned a trip circumnavigating (is that just a nautical word?) Loch Ness. But Ann’s little red car wasn’t so excited & when we filled up in Forres, she got a bit antsy & started making strange loud noises from the axle area. We drove around Forres a bit, & after Bec did some Reiki on the car (just one of her unique talents), we decided we’d chance it & head to Loch Ness.
We stopped at a cute inn in wee town called Dores on the top of Loch Ness. Had an incredibly rich chocolate cake & hot chocolate. We left the inn stuffed to the brim & drove south along the eastern shore. The car made a few noises here & there, but there were no major dramas.
We arrived at another inn in Drumnadrochit & had a great mid-afternoon feast. Then drove all the way back up the western shore, in the dark by now, to Inverness & then back to Shambala.
Lots of driving, but just a wonderful day out!
