Viking Cruise to the British Isle Day3
After sailing all day yesterday, we put into our next port at Invergordon, and very small town on the coast and immediately got on the bus to Inverness. The scenery along the way was quite beautiful - lots of rolling hills with large pastures for goats, cattle and sheep as well as fields of hay and barley (the better to make Scotch with). Huge clumps of fireweed line the roadway which is actually rather pretty. Kind of like our Scotch broom.
Inverness is a very old town with mostly stone and brick buildings. I doubt that their history is written in fire as was Bergen's. We were not in the mood to buy anything, but did some window shopping. They had two interesting ice cream stores, but with the gelato on the ship, I have had enough ice cream. The weather is in the high 50s, low 60s, overcast but no rain. Lots of wind. I can tell you, neither of the places we have been so far look appealing for retirement! Tomorrow is Edinburgh which should be amazing.
Dinner last night was grilled salmon with a crab crust while Dean had lambchops. We tried the more formal dining room, but I am partial to the buffet. There you don't have to get dressed up and that is where the gelato is. Had pizza for lunch today and I have to say, we make better. The bottom of theirs was a little soggy.
Hope all are well
