DAY 3 Tongue to Kinlochbervie
Pretty much sums up the way this day started!  Cold, windy, wet.  We woke up to horizontal rain pushed along by a stiff north wind.  Our B&B hosts let us linger a while, waiting for the weather to clear.  The forecast was for clearing around noon.  And it did!
 

Ian kicked us out of the van in Durness, which as it happens, was one  of John Lennons favorite places.

Scottish moors...finally found a reason to wear the leg warmers!




This big fella waited just long enough for his picture

Peat harvesting...they still burn it for heat after it dries

 The clouds finally blew off and we were left with a brilliant stunning afternoon!

 

 The firth and the small village of  Kinlochbervie in the distance.  Our B&B for the evening is somewhere in between!


 An actual old schoolhouse from the 1800's...still in use...wonderful accomodations
A romp on the beach before dinner is always a fine adventure...this one is Oldshoremore beach



Anothe fine evening meal in the Old School B&B.  Fiona, the owner even did our laundry!  highly recommended accomodations
