Any sign of Nessie??

A misty hazy morning as we drove along Loch Ness eastern side ! No sign of Nessie!
It’s been a day of hiking!
First stop was at Foyers..... walked down through the woods to Lower Foyers by this time we were looking for a pit stop when we walked by the Community centre & inside there was a coffee morning in full swing ...... lots of lovely ladies & a few gents ( one who was playing the accordion beautifully!) and lots of home baking ! Yummy! We were welcomed in with open arms & my visitors from California were delighted & surprised with the generosity & hospitality of the locals!
We walked back up through the woods , just about to drive away from car park when a large black car parked blocking the exit! When I asked the driver if he could move forward a bit , he was so rude & told me I couldn’t drive properly if I couldn’t drive passed his car! An he said he was not moving! An Italian visitor ! Anyway he obviously Thought better of it after 5 cars all backed up behind his! Or his wife gave him an earful! :) so we encountered both sides of humans & it wasn’t even lunchtime!
We then drove south to The Nevis Range gondola Centre & ride up 2000 feet to the cafe & start of the World Mountain bike route , ( we were not biking down!) Lovely lunch & then a wonderful walk out to the viewpoint! Overlooking Fort William & beyond!
Visitors staying at 5 star country house hotel on the tiny wee island of Eriska!
A very good day indeed!!
