second last day 47

Today we cycled 54 miles from Evanton to Longside. We had a small breakfast and we first got driven in Gillian's car to Inverness! There we took the train to Keith and got off there by 7 past 10 and saw a whisky distillery! Dad was really exited about it and really wanted a picture but in the end he never got one. So our first stop was at Turriff there dad saw the old post office museum a small one but it was open even after closing time at twelve so dad was very pleased. After a quick peek in the the woman inside recommended us a place for lunch called the square diner and it was good. I had a BIG sandwich with colselaw salad and crisps it was delicious! After lunch we cycled till we saw a village with some pretty things like bike with baskets and flowers and prams also dad made us stop to take pictures. Next we came to a cafe in a town that dad is now saying was not very nice but I don't care he had a tea and went for a poo there and that's why we stopped there. Any way we cycled on and got to a track it was another national cycle route. Oh well we thought and we continued along it for a while before getting fed up with it and cycling on the road. We got to Peterhead soon enough and wandered around looking at some boats and things before finding Carol she took us for dinner at a fish and chips then we went to a light house which is supposed to be the most easterly part of the UK. She drove us to Longside and now we are at a house who belongs to someone she knows dad and I a not actually sure whos it is. She went to a meeting and went home so me and dad ante now home alone on the coaches. The next part of this post today is the news which is good and bad. Basically I'm afraid we're cutting the trip and I'm sorry if I'm disappointing people who read this. So tommorow we'll be in Edinburgh for the sleeper train to london as it's gran's funeral which is sad. And we won't be coming back from London so tommorow is our last day sadly but it's been fun I have to say meeting new people and seeing new places. So thank you everyone who has read or commented on the blog or put us up. Also into the present now Lin and Louis have just arrived back from a sports match. So I'm sorry for disappointing everyone but the website is always there, national geographic might do something for us and if I don't get to write tomorrow's tommorow then I'll do it the next after that I'm not sure bye.
