After a wonderful tapas dinner at El Puerto in Bristol with Lyn, the company CFO, we headed back to the hotel. Lyn caught the train early this morning to London to fly back to Australia. I enjoyed a leisurely morning packing and then walked into the Cabot Circus, Bristol’s newest shopping mall. In the early afternoon I caught a taxi to Bristol airport for the EasyJet flight to Inverness.
I had bought the Speedy Boarding option with my ticket but had to chuckle when out of a full plane only 3 people had paid for the privilege of boarding early to secure their seat of choice.
The flight was smooth and event free. We flew over Lake Windermere then north over Glasgow eventually landing at Inverness from the north. My recurring anxiety about being separated from my luggage wasn’t realised and I picked up the hire car – only to find it only had a quarter of a tank of petrol! The car is a black (there are lots of black cars here) Kia Cee’d. That apostrophe is bugging me.

I headed out of the airport and towards Inverness. My hotel tonight is at Nairn, a pretty wee town on the coast. As I write this it is after 10:30pm and the sun has just gone down. I took a quick spin through town, down to the harbour to see the wharf and marina. My room is very rosy – a Scottish hotel advertising a full English breakfast!
