This was our second trip on the "Harry Potter" train -- the Jacobite steam train that departs from Fort William and chugs its way through the Scottish Highlands to the "sleepy little port town" of Mallaig.

| the train stops part way into the journey and we took a little walk to take this photo |
Once in Mallaig the girls and I took a little walk up into the hills above the town. It was a perfect day and a pleasant walk!

At the end of this trip we were pretty tired and eager to read and relax in our hotel room, watching a bit more of the Jubilee celebrations on TV.
