Trip to the Highlands

The trip started with 11 children bundling into a mini bus. We then set off to the highlands! We first stopped at The Hairy Coo Café so everyone could get a coffee and wake up. The next stop was Loch Ness, where we had lunch and looked at the locks that let boats through.

 We took a short journey to Urquhart Castle overlooking Loch Ness, we spent some time learning about the history of the castle and how it has changed through the years and took some photos.

 Later we packed back into the bus and set off to where we were going to spend the night in Aviemore. Later once we had settled in and had a look around we went for dinner. The students first time trying Indian food! We ordered a variety of different dishes, so that we could try an array of tastes (some spicy, some not). The rest of the evening was spent chatting and playing cards. Afterwards we all settled down for the night as we had a busy day ahead.

By ten o’clock on Wednesday we were all out and ready for breakfast which we spent at a typical Scottish café having bacon and egg rolls which were thoroughly by all.

Once everyone had been fed and watered it was off to Tesco to get our meal deal pack lunches. Soon after it was back into the minivan and of to the glorious Scottish beach of Loch Morlich, we started our adventure with a mini assault course where some skills were shown. After this tiring event we headed off to the water to do some sunbathing, playing cards and even some swimming in tropical Scottish water.

 Once everyone was well rested we decided to hire some canoes and venture of into the loch. This was great fun, some people even sang while rowing.

 Once our beach day was over we took a short trip to look at some picturesque Scottish mountains and take some more pictures. Once we had taken the pictures and had a look around we set of to the last part of our highland adventures to the fish and chip shop, where we ate lots of yummy foods. Finally we loaded in to the mini bus for the last time where we listened to some music and slept some more.
