1st day of riding from Inverness to Tain

Halfway (about 25 miles) we arrived at the town of Chomarty where we needed to take a ferry across Chomarty Firth.  A stop at the bakery was required before ferry boarding.
 
Lori said that the Millionares bar was the best...It was!

On the road again.
 
Wow!  Free range chickens in the wild.
 
Arriving in Tain.  We had a great dinner at the Royal Hotel

What's a biking day without a distillery tour
 
And what is a distillery tour without a tasting!
