Leaving Loch Tay

Making the most of the last day

Although check out was at 10am, we were still able to make what felt like a full day before heading our separate ways.  Our son booked canoes and kayaks for anyone who wished to go.  Alan prefers not to go out so he can take photos, I offered to watch the baby so both her parents could  enjoy the water.  Little J?

I think he would have preferred cuddling in to Alan's jersey, but there was a spot in the Canadian canoe just for him, and his shark life jacket!

If you look closely, you can see Little J there too

There he is in his shark life jacket heading for shore

not the best way to share a kayak

Our son and grandson shared a kayak, which turned out not to be that great of an idea.  Our grandson spent most of the time in the water, mainly acting as an anchor for the kayak, and abandoning his paddle. But all in all, I believe everyone had a super time and it was a good way to say goodbye to Loch Tay.

We all left in our 3 different cars, but only to regroup at Karelia House for lunch.  It is a bit out of town, but a great place to meet and then have to say goodbye. They have great cakes and sandwiches and fantastic soup!  I got Parsnip and Apple soup!  Then a cake I had to cut in half and save for later, this sort of behaviour is unheard of for me, to give an idea how big it was!

Technically, this is the end of the family holiday.  Our son, his girlfriend and Little J had to come back to our house for one more night just because the drive to London would be too far.  Glad of the extra night with the 3 of them.  We even squeezed in another walk the next morning before each heading their own way = them to London, us to Aviemore!
