Had a ton of rain yesterday and everyone was getting a bit low spirited when we got to Ullapool where we spent the night. Ended up braving the weather and having fish and chips again and then hitting the local pubs (which mainly consisted of a bunch of us kiwis trying to find the rest of the group in the stormy weather). After finding them, the group was told to 'shut the F--- up' by the bar lady - mainly because the Aussies thought it polite to play drinking games at the local. We had to be promptly home by 12am or turn into pumpkins (and be locked out in the storm).
Woke to amazing weather today and hit the local beach where 'Dingo', the 48 year old Aussie know-it-all (and honorary tour leader) won the stone skimming contest. Then it was on to Inverness - or munterville according to our tour guide. After playing spot the ugliest munter as we drove through town, we stopped and got some food. We were told today's 'good news' by the local crazy old man, which wasn't the football win last night but the fact that Jesus loves us and we shouldn't go to hell.
Have seen some amazing waterfalls the last two days as well as an ancient burial site, where the bus almost left the road. We arrived safely at Loch Ness and are staying at a fantastic hostel tonight in a beautiful village at the head of the Loch.
