Today was an reasonably early start at Gatwick for our Easyjet flight to Inverness. There was an Impressive amount of hand sanitizer stations at Gatwick. The flight was very full, probably because BA had cancelled our flight from Heathrow a few weeks ago.
Flight was very uneventful and thankfully all bags arrived on the carrousel in good time. As part of being good corporate citizens we are going to take a photo of ourselves outside HSBC branches wherever they are on our route. The Inverness branch is the most northern so we ticked that one off the to do list.
Then the long drive from Inverness to John O’Groats along the A9 (looks like some scary walking moments coming up on Sunday/Monday) and then the A99 (not quite so bad) and arrived at the Seaview Hotel.
The hotel is clean, dinner was very nice and the view from the dining room of the Orkneys is spectacular (Pictures in tomorrows blog entry). Interesting sign on my bathroom door! Then I just had to try the local brewery ale – a very nice drop it must be said.
