Today we woke up to the normal highland forest scenery as most of the snow had all but melted overnight as the temperature had been a little warming. Having said that, after waking and having some breakfast I headed out for a quick wander around the local loch at Glenmore. The view was spectacular as the mountains are still very snow covered, and actually quite a bit of the lake was still frozen, but had clearly thawed and frozen several times to create a sort of mosaic appearance it its edge.
I stopped by at the small cafe for a hot chocolate to warm up. Thankfully I had timed it such that it was totally empty as I'm sure most people had headed to the slopes already. i finished off the journey by going to Aviemore to fill the car with petrol ready for the journey home, and also some postcards to send out to my family.
In the afternoon, we had arranged a tour of a local brewery as it seemed a good thing to do in the cold weather, and also something that I've never done before so I was sure it would be really interesting.
We walked up to the brewery at the northern end of the town, as we knew we'd most likely be having a drink or two from the samples. By now the sun had come out and we actually had another really nice stroll up there, although it was a bit colder when we left and walked back.
