day 43

Today we cycled 53 from near Lochinver to Durness we had breakfast at Stewart's house. We interviewd them and hanged about here bit as it was raining heavily so in the end we set off at ten. It had stopped raining at that time but there was a strong wind and luckily it WS behind us for a long way until we got to a certain junction. There we stopped to sort out a few stuff and prepared for the hill coming up. It was our first one in ages most of it was into the wind a part from the top and the was fun we were really wizzing then. Unfortunately after that hill the wind was mostly against us until lunch for our first stop. We met another cyclist there and had a nice chat after lunch before having to go. Also I forgot to mention this scene before the junction part we were cycling along when I saw a flash of a tube with what looked like a twenty pound note in it. I told dad to stop and turn round we were exited ands went to have a look. Disappointment, it turned out to be a driving liscense in side a plastic tube but oh well. Anyway after lunch we our on stuff we had taken off inside and cycled with the wind now behind us again the rain came twice harsh but short. And we also had our first percentage in ages only twelve percent though and the wind was behind us until the top. The next time it rained was going down this long hill and that was fun over that hill we were in the sunshine again after being under that massive cloud of rain. Over a hill and Durness was there. We cycled down and came to a spar mini sumarket thing and bought some sheets for tomorrow and some strawberries there. Next we went to the chocolate mountain or that's what its called but its really just a small cafe type thing but its really nice with lots of chocolate and you've probably seen the hot chocolate which was fantastic. We finished there and as dad wanted to go to the beach we did and took a few pictures there before heading to our hostel. On the way I saw a sign for a John Lennon memorial and that was interesting. Our hostel is nice and dad was supposed as he had to cook dinner himself although the food was provided with instructions now we are in the lounge just sitting about before what dad wants to be an early night.
