After breakfast, we headed over to an EE shop, to try to get Cyn's phone to work. They guy there got the new SIM card functioning, and gave us better understanding of what we could expect from it. Like, how expensive phone calls really were. And since I still couldn't get cash, I sat in the store for a good 20 minutes, trying to log onto my credit card website and change my PIN. I was supposed to pay cash at the B&B, but the guy there allowed me to pay with my card. If I hadn't been able to get cash at all, saving the cash here would have allowed us a second night on Skye. It turned out that the new PIN worked, and I was able to get cash that evening.
After that we went north along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond (pronounced LOH-mun). We found a place to stop, and walked down to a rocky beach.
Then we continued up. We saw a sign into the car park at the Falls of Falloch. I was worried that we'd be able to get into it, let alone find a place to park, but the crowds seemed to be clearing out then. I can't imagine what it would be like in the summer.
And on up we went. As we went up whatever glen that was, it looked much like the pictures below, maybe a little wider valleys or lower mountains. And then after the high point, we started down into Glencoe valley (to be redundant about it).
It was a nice drive down. We came to the little town of Glencoe where we found a cafe for lunch. Then we went back up the valley. I saw a waterfall and a pull-out, so I stopped and we walked over.
The Meeting of the Three Waters
And then we climbed a muddy hill and got up onto the moors - boggy upland - and took some photos of the valley. That was fun. Good thing we'd worn our waterproof hiking shoes.
After the hike back down, we drove further up the valley to another place. Then we drove back down. Shortly past Glencoe we saw a small church with a kirkyard (churchyard, graveyard), so we stopped to check it out.
St. John's Church.
Afterward we drove on up the coast to Fort William. We checked in at the hotel then walked a few blocks into the little downtown area for food. We ate at the Grog & Gruel where my dad and I ate last time. It was much as I remembered only they didn't have much of a selection of beer or whisky. And I got my cash, which relieved me greatly.
