WHW Day 3: Completed and Could Have Continued!

Wow! Felt so much better today at the end of my trek - I kind of wanted to just keep going! But my lodging was reserved, so here I stopped, and am I ever ecstatic that I did!! :) More on that in a bit .... but first, the pertinents....CELEBRATING : NO RAIN, NO MIDGES, NO MOSQUITOES!!! WOOHOO!! And I'd forgotten this the last two days, but no blisters and no chafing. I'm so very grateful for all of this! Disappointment of the day : added a little 2 mile loop to my day to see a "viewpoint" and "ruins" and it was basically pointless. No views whatsoever (sheer hogwash!!) and the ruins were mediocre at best - bummer!! Highlights of the trip did include seeing 3 deer (!!!! Hooray!!!!), finding Rob Roys cave (you have to work for it!), having a completely tranquil and serene solo day reflecting on all the things I am grateful for, annnnnnnd :) having a "kale-apple -mango" baby pouch today. It was scrumptious!! I left my awesome hostel (former hunting lodge) around 10 am, and was done with the day at around 7:15 pm. I THEN TOOK A BATH!!! It was borderline magical. I haven't taken a bath in years but this was absolutely tremendous. So thankful!! Dinner included Scottish steak in Guinness gravy, steamed veggies, a local beer and meeting a couple of really nice people. Perfect!!
