Today's trip to Fort Augustus
Today's trip to Fort Augustus was a really good one
Lovely weather, sun shining, warm
Roads were quite quiet.
So we had a good trip there.
Went the scenic route there and returned by the even more scenic route.
It's scenic all the way and scenic all the way back
Fort Augustus itself is a lovely wee village half way between Inverness and Fort William , so lots of tourists on the go.
And oh boy is Fort Augustus expensive
We stopped for lunch, at the Monster Fish and Chips shop, on ikusly Nessie themed.
And it's a tourist rip off
£20 for two White pudding dippers which would cost about £12 at home.
It was good though.
We had fun
I have some lovely photos to add which I will do if I get any replies

I'm glad you both are enjoying your trip. I have planned to visit a holy city in one of our northern states. From there we will visit another city at the foothills of the Himalayas.

Glad you're enjoying your holiday. I always imagine Scotland to be lush and beautiful.
I can certainly understand how much more expensive it is to indulge at a tourist destination. Prices are always way more but it's expected i guess.

@Ineeddentures sounds like Yvonne likes a challenge when it comes to spending money even if it's just a tiny bit she saves

@Ineeddentures I have to say I often end up just buying a bottle of water. I don't like the coffee in these places, don't buy sodas or cold teas so often it's just a bottle of water.

Yvonne is a penny pincher
Wandering round this store trying to avoid paying £2 for a coke.
She found 4 small bottles of orange squash for £1.79 lol

Sounds like a nice time, and that stinks about the place being a tourist rip off. Enjoying the food though is always good.

It's beside Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal and the tourists love it.
They don't mind paying exorbitant prices for everything Courtney
One of the best Fish and Chips shops in Scotland.

@Ineeddentures Nice view again...
and that is why those who charge the prices get away with it.
But that is good

Ah ok
Should read white pudding suppers
It's an oatmeal and fatty pudding, with a skin on, sometimes.or not , deep fried in batter, served with chips

@Ineeddentures - Switzerland is expensive, we were in a very small town on lake Lugano, at the border with Italy. I found no interesting restaurants where to stop.

I have run out of photos now Anna
I think some may have been duplicated
Lake Lugano would be expensive
It is lovely and very popular with tourists.
Our school trip was there in 1974.

I didn't see any interesting restaurants yesterday
If there were any I couldn't see them because of Nessie souvenir shops

Ah well
Today, the remnants of the fort are integrated into the landscape of Fort Augustus, which has become a popular tourist destination. The area is known for its scenic beauty and historical significance, attracting visitors interested in both the natural environment and Scottish history.
I didn't actually see.any Fort any time I have been there
But here is a picture of an island in a loch up in the hills above Fort Augustus

Not sure I could.
Well I probably could
But I think a better one to climb was the one behind me whilst I took this photo

@Ineeddentures Oh, that temperature is just our regular weather here. Our heatwaves usually range from 38 to 45°C. For us, 32°C is still considered normal, and 25°C is what we’d call a very cool day in my country.

We are going to be in our second heatwave for the summer so far
Not sure how high we will get but I saw 30C mentioned
3 days over 25C for us is a heatwave

I'm so glad we live where we do.
Who would really want to have to cope with 45C anyway.
