John o Groats

The power steering in our car went yesterday. After having a garage look at it and say it was ok to drive we headed north, albeit with a flashback to when cars were much harder to steer. It was heavy work.

So today we swapped our ferry for the evening boat and took our time wandering up from Inverness. Car was fine on the road, just had to avoid tricky parking situations.

Arrived at the north coast with a few hours to spare so stopped at John o Groats. It’s definitely improved since we were last there. Today it felt like a seaside resort in high summer, Saw more folk wearing shorts and eating ice cream in an hour than I have all summer.
