No Room in Kyle. On to Fort William.

Yesterday was a gorgeous train ride to Kyle of Lochalsh after
breakfast at the Ramada… didn’t know it was included but it wasn’t
on the bill when we checked out.

As for the train, think lots of Lochs (as in lakes, as in the Loch
Ness monster) and low mountains.

After checking both of the hotels on our list and finding no
vacancies, it was time for a pub lunch of a BLT for me and haddock and
chips for Jill (huge). The fall back plan of catching the bus to Fort
William is now in play.

Jill said the bus trip was even better than the train… I wouldn’t
know. I was napping.

Fearing a repeat of no room at the inn, Jill booked us two rooms via
phone at the West End Hotel where singles aren’t much more than a
double and walking distance from the train station. Singles mean that
we’ll both get a good nights sleep.

Dinner in the hotel. Lamb for Jill. Mussells for me. Both good.

Today is off to the train station after the included breakfast to drop
bags for tonights train, then off to the Ben Nevis Diistillery. Sounds
Yiddish to me.

Dinner in town before boarding the train at half seven. Drinks and
Ambien will guarantee a good night’s sleep tonight.
