tourist deer. not sure if he charges for photos but he seemed to be waiting for snacks from the burger van. all a bit sad.

packed the kids off to school and hit the road north. up and up and up - the amazing drive along loch lomond, across rannoch moor and down glencoe, fort william for waterproof trousers, up and across and down to eilean donan and kyle of lochalsh and over the bridge to skye.

portree buzzing with tourists in search of a meal. we just felt excited to have a night away - carpetbiter2 is just 6 and this was our second time away on our own - not for want of trying to find someone to look after them i might add..
