A visit to Glen Urquhart and Glen Affric

After the long and somewhat exhausting day before, we want to have a more quiet day. Walking through Inverness, driving to Drumnadrochit and Urquhart Castle and then a walking tour to the Falls of Divach.
Divach waterfall Divach waterfall There are many waterfalls in Scotland, but sometimes it is hard to find them or there is no road leading to them. Pleasant side effect is the quietness of these places. We hardly meet anyone in this area.
Glen Affric Glen Affric After this walk, we follow Glen Urquhart and take the road from Cannich into Glen Affric towards Loch Affric. According to many tour guides, Glen Affric is one of the most pretty valleys in Scotland. Unfortunately, we are out of film. We promise, next time we take more pictures. And we did, these pictures are made in 2002.
Elisabeth enters the room Our pleasant and calm day, changes after all into a tiring one, at night in the pub. It is filled with locals and everybody wants to talk to us. But well, the singing part is a bit annoying. They know the song 'tulpen uit Amsterdam' (tulips from Amsterdam) and Teije only knows 'alle eendjes zwemmen in het water' (all ducks swim in the water, a children's song). The beer and the baileys really taste nice and we aren't quite sober when we return to our room.
