Coffee after a nice sleep in although I did not sleep well…. Showers and packed up all our stuff. Ordered an Uber to the airport to get our rental car. We will return in 6 days to fly out so this made the most sense.
Car rental straight forward with an upgrade for 10£ a day. We had to wait a bit for the car to be ready as we were a bit early. Sadly this wait went on and on before we finally got our car. Due to the delay, we were able to negotiate an extra driver (Kelly) at no cost and they gave us a 20% discount. We will take it! We videoed the car for damage and then loaded it all up with quick access to our water bottles and treats. Away at 12:25.
Several accidents along the way slowed our progress and we arrived in Pitlochry just before 3:00. A stop at the chipper for a drink and food... and a short wander through some shops. Out of Pitlochry at 16:00
Next stop was in Aviemore where we grabbed some beverages at the local Aldi store.
We then took the back way through to the Auldearn Antique Shop as this cuts off a fair amount of time.... we learned this in 1994 when we where here then. Plus it’s very eerie looking drive 😂

We arrived at 6pm... well past our anticipated time but still a good trip. I was not feeling very well, exhausted and lacking any energy. We met Vicki and got settled in. We also met Amy, Euan's partner who lives here as well. Bags unloaded and then we had a drink with Roger when he arrived home. It's a busy place with lots of activity.

The following pictures come from the shops and the old Church building which is now the main antique shop. Even the building is an antique as it was built in 1840.

I was still not feeling well so I excused myself and headed up to my bed. Lights out!
Kelly enjoyed a nice dinner and met Euan when he got home. She eventually retired around 10pm.
Weather = 27ºC in Pitlochry and cooled to 16ºC once over the hill into Aulderan.
