Loch Ness Tour
 
While we waited for the train from Inverness, we decided to take a tour of Loch Ness. Eric selected the minivan of Gordon’s because the big tour coaches looked too sterile. After our group was assembled Gordon held a vote on whether we should do the regular tour and visit the sites or go for a hike above the lake. The group voted for the hike, of course. (Gordon also touted his theories that the “monster” was just the head of a seal that swam up river.)
