The Highlands

We got back home on Sunday night from our tour in the highlands. We took a 3 day bus tour which took us up to Isle of Skye where we stayed for two nights in Kyleakin. We spent our days on a cramped bus and drove all day long from place to place. Our tour guide told us stories and fairy tales about each place we visited.  It was absolutely gorgeous despite the rain and wind.

 This is Hamish. He's 18 years old making him the oldest living hairy coo. He's the only coo to survive the law that says they have to be killed at 3 years old due to mad cow.

Hamish the oldest hairy coo.
We're leaving bright and early tomorrow for Ireland!
