So, today I hit no wildlife with my car. I did spend a fair amount of time driving slowly while sheep got off the road in front of me, but that was okay with me - if not with the bloke in the car behind me, who leaned on his horn for literally over five minutes solid and flashed his lights at me a lot - especially when I stopped completely.

While a couple of dozen sheep that had been blocking the entire road cleared out of the way.

Unfortunately for him, my car is fairly soundproof and my mood was fairly mellow.

Speaking of my car: the Audi A4 has some seriously good stability when faced with major side-winds - it doesn't even wobble even when facing some very, very strong winds, as it did when driving along the northern coast of Caithness.

I toured around Caithness and Sutherland a bit - the main tourist attraction-type spot I went to was the Shin Falls, in Sutherland.

Tonight I got to my lodgings - a guest house overlooking the Ness in Inverness - before sunset, the better to have a restful, relaxing evening. (I'm kind of planning to watch Question Time tonight, despite the whole Nick Griffin thing, mind you.)

Later tonight: A photo post, since I've actually got some time this evening to do that.

Current Location: Inverness, Scotland
