Haggis was on the menu and served in fine style! Home cooked and served in Inverness, the Highlands Capital!
It was everything it was imagined it could be! Meaty, spiced, goodness! You really should try it, but make sure it's cooked properly, it might be a bad experience. The haggis was served with neeps & taties (carrots and turnip with potatoes) with a whisky cream sauce. Delicious!
On the itinerary was a short drive to Loch Ness. What adventure wouldn't be complete without a trip to spot the legendary Nessy. Colin & Maria stood on the shores of Loch Ness for hours looking for the ol' girl..
Alas, the only thing they spotted was an old tire washed up on shore. They were treated to the non-tourist side of Loch Ness, which they recommend. So if you're going to Inverness, drive through Dores to view the beautiful highlands. It reminded Colin of growing up on the Kennebecasis River in New Brunswick.
Tomorrow it's a trip to the curling pond (first pond curling was ever played on) & the castle that was featured in the movie Braveheart.
Colin's first trip to Europe. He'll be drinking lots of beer (& lots of wine in Paris). Maria's been to England & France before, just not the other 4 countries they plan to visit. 30 days.... 6 countries... 2 livers... 1 broke bank account... Hope you enjoy the adventure!
