Why walk to your hotel... when you could walk past it ?!?!?!
I wish I could say we planned to lengthen our walk today but it wasn't until we hit a museum, and had been walking for what seemed like longer than planned, that we asked to make sure we were going the right direction. Turns out we had walked an hour past our hotel. Oops. I didn't mind but my companion who had hopped out of bed excited for our 12 mile hike this morning was slightly irritated we had now likely done more like 16. I tried to remind him that we got to spend all this precious time together and got to see even more scenary. I'm not sure he was all that thrilled with my enthusiasm and positive thinking.
Today was one of the most beautiful walks as the book had promised. We started with a slight detour to a Roman fort outside of collerford and explored a museum of Roman ruins. It was impressive to see what they were capable of at that time. Then most of our walk was along the wall or past turrets ( remnants of look out points). The wall gradually climbed and gave us a spectacular view. It was breath taking.
Sadly my phone spent most of the day unwilling to turn on so most of the photos are only on my camera. But I will share a few from today.
Tonight we took a little extra time finding our next hotel on our map and we are hopefully ready to find our way tomorrow.
