Scottish Wildlife Experience 🐧🐏🦌🐖🐄

Wow, what a beautiful wildlife/safari day 💛

Continuing along the "NC 500," we first headed to Durness in the far north to the beach. On the way there, of course, we were surrounded by sheep 🐏 By now, we have gotten used to it, but we are certainly not tired of it. There was also a pig on the side of the road today.

The Durness Beach itself was almost empty except for the seagulls and was a great paradise for Nerina and us. Even without rain 😊

But then the safari really started: after a few kilometers, we were close to Puffins Cove, which we only knew from hearing about it, but it is not a proper official attraction. So, we looked for a parking space on a whim and coincidentally met a British couple who had just come from the Cove 😅 Encouraged that we were in the right place, we went somewhere along the marsh on a thin path until we reached the coast surrounded by pheasants and birds. And then they suddenly appeared: the puffins 😍🐧 So many cute little birds 😍

Happy to have seen the many puffins, we went to a completely secluded place, which was beautiful but had poor internet connection. Since that is important for work, we packed everything up after eating and continued on a bit tired 😌

And it was worth it! We were once again treated to the full wildlife experience on the lonely road: a multitude of deer and hares alternating with the many sheep. The rainbow right in front of us was the crowning glory! 🌈

Luckily, we also found a nice spot. Good night 😴
