Aberfeldy - Mountain Safari

2011-09-30

Last full day of our holiday - back to England and USA tommorrow. What a fabulous time I have had getting to know my cousin better and exploring a place I have never been and have enjoyed so much.

Today we drove up to Aberfeldy via Pitlochry to do a Highland Safari www.highland safaris.net. Initially went to the Safari Centre where there was a cafe and gift shop. Also a Red Deer Park and viewing platform. Lots of other things to do which we didn't see - gold panning and a great childrens area. We chose to do the Mountain Safari 2.5 hrs in a land rover - the cuzzie had never been in a land rover like this - off road and went up and up and up to nearly 3000 ft - wildlife and breathtaking scenery and lots of photos and a great driver / guide sharing his knowledge about the area and the wildlife. So worth the drive and the cost.

Then to Pitlochry - what a stunning place as well - didn't have too much time here but will go back one day hopefully. Lots to see and do - so quaint and villagy and colourful. Would actually like to stay here for a few nights
