Day #20 - 21: Perth to Inverness

After having our first full rest day of the trip, it's time to get back out there. But I wished we had more rest days on this trip; one of many regrets I have chalked up. I still wake up sore and achy but soon after a few minutes of riding in the morning all the aches and pains go away. That's why almost anyone can do what we're doing.


Sometimes we ride on some great, quiet bike paths.

If I were an engineer I may have been a structural engineer. Bridges are all neat.

See look how neat this one is. 

I lament the 1,000s of times I didn't take my camera out fast enough to snap a pic of a coolo building or neat landscape or of something silly the Brits write. This one I snapped behind me as I had already passed it. I don't even know what the the building is for but it's all rich.

There are so many yellow flowers this time of year. When Holly and I were in this area 4 years ago, it was July but I don't remember seeing any of them. They sure brighten up the landscape as we pass by and with the chill in the air from the cold temps, it makes me think that it's fall. Now I want it to be fall like I'm some depressed, lonesome person.

Look at all these great SODAS I found! They're all good, especially that chilli one.

He's being a good little boy.

Checking in to our hotel in Kingussie that gave us three beds!

She's the sweetest.

Lots of tourists were taking pics of these ruins as we rode on by.

Found this neat park where another couple was touring with their kid. Naturally, we all judged each other to see who was the better cycling family. 

He eats so much that we have to carry a lot of milk and diapers.

Everyone kept asking me if this was AI. I assure you the forest was real.

It was cold and rainy atop this summit. The Scots have odd words.

I love this style of bridge with many arches. 

Look at those furry cows. It's their mascot up here because I see that animated face all the time.

Best children. If I were a better dad then we could have more.

We stayed at this AirB&B in Inverness where Holly whipped up a really good bean burro casserole. We had grown tired of British food and snacks and this hit the spot. All we needed was hot sauce.

Happy 8 months, Joaquim!!!

My friend just got back from Scotland and she said if there was anywhere she could live, it would be Scotland.

You love bridges

Did she mention the midges? They're like their version of mosquitos. They ate us alive when we had a flat to change.
