With full bellies, we went to the cloister gardens here at the abbey and dad & I played a game of chess...I won! We then decided to go swimming. The swimming pool is the old chapel of the abbey all converted to a swimming area with sauna and steam room. Dad liked the steam room and sauna, but when mom went into the steam room, she felt like she couldn't breathe! I choose not to venture into either. :-)
After swimming we wandered over to the village to poke our heads into some of the shops. On our way Dad got distracted again by the boats coming through the locks. While mom and I shopped dad watched the locks in motion and reaffirmed his now close relationship to the lock workers. Mom and I made it out in time to see the last locking and the bridge open up to let the boats through. I do have to say it was pretty cool.
The wind had really picked up on our way back so we wandered out to Loch Ness to see the wind push waves up against the shore. Dinner consisted of frozen dinners..pizzas for mom and me...chicken curry for dad. I do have to say that when dad took the garbage out this evening, he was gone for a little longer than necessary...when he returned he was carrying a container of warm chips (fries) from the local chippy (fish and chip shop). It was no surprise to me, because when we went for a walk last night, he was staring in the window of the shop with hungry puppy eyes (he had left all his $$ back at the room).
Tomorrow brings the Harry Potter Train.....and in case you didn't get that...Harry Potter Train tomorrow!!!! I am so excited!!
