Today 6.30am need to depart d as we scared we would be late for our schedule. But today we were directed to use the main road.... which is the highway. Reach Inverness at 9am and went to Information Centre to get some attractions in Inverness. Reach Loch Ness at 11am and take pics. Loch Ness is where the legend of sea monster. This is the place of Myth and Legend of Loch NEss Monster. But as i could it was just a long and wide lake LOL. Nothing special. Later we went to Urquhuart Castle. The castle was fantastic as it overlooked to the Loch Ness lake. Later had our lunch outside in the car where we meet other Liverpool friends. They also came for Scotland one week road trip. Cont on to the Loch Ness Exhibition centre. Nothing much to see then cont to Fort George to see military fortress. It was huge and magnificent. Didnt go in as the outside view is enough for us. Later went to the Cawdor castle and Gulledon Battlefield. Didnt go in as the entrance fees was too expensive. Just take some picture and went back to town centre. Find Jimmy Chung buffet but the shop was going through renovation !!!!! My buffet ..... gone. Later chee chaw them went to eat scottish food and i had my dinner at McD keke. Later after dinner no more places to go, head to John O'Groats. The very north of Scotland !!! To see Sunrise. Reach there at 1am and try to find the best location. We somemore went up to the Light house on the mountain top but it was scary as no one was there. SO we went back down to the Pier. Sleep inside the car and wait for the sunrise.

But the sculpture inside the hostle was very nice and beautiful. Later we reach Isle Of Skye at 2pm. Went to Old Man of Storr but it was still raining. SO decided to go to Klit Rock Waterfall.... quickly ran down and take some pictures. Later went to Lealt Falls and take some photos in the rain !!! Later force ourself to go up the mountain of Old Man of Storr. It takes us almost 1 hour to reach the top and see the special stones standing on the mountains. Lucky when we reach the top, the rain stopped for us. Take some pics and went down hill again. It was suppose to be a outdoor experience but the rain causes us a lot of problems...... somemore i was so stupid to wear White jeans and White Jacket !!! All was dirty because of the MUD !!!
