A trip into Inverness to visit Leakey's the bookshop. A wondered place full of treasure and a great antidote to the chains.

Tonight we headed out for dinner. C had hoped to watch the football, so we called ahead to find a pub which could arrange it. The perfect set up greeted us, with the game on a big screen and our table nearby.

Even better, we were soon joined by some tourists who had a passion for Barcelona and were, in time, delighted with the result.
