Day 24: John O'Groats

Today we became 'End-to-enders' - Lands End to John O'Groats! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ After a 3 and a half hour drive from Aviemore to John O'Groats I felt my brain was spinning with triumph!πŸ‘πŸ» It was fun at John O'Groats as there were sculptures we could play on - we went SO high up!
It is the furtherst northerly part of the United Kingdom and as it was a beautiful sunny day, I could see the Orkney Islands from where I was standing.
Because it was hot, we were allowed a solero! 🍦
As we were having an ice cream, we saw 3 men cycle 🚴 up to the sign and have a glass of champagneπŸ₯‚πŸΎ We spoke to them and it turned out they were 'End-to-enders' (End-to-enders means you have walked, cycled of driven from Lands End to John O'Groats) so we congratulated them. We were End-to-Enders too, we did it in a car!
After John O'Groats, (sadly) we drove back a different way, through a narrow road with a great view of the countryside-there were hills, lochs and signs saying 'be careful, animals  around'. We saw sheep doing what they do, eating grass and looking for places to eat grass πŸ‘. We only saw about 2 houses and about 3 cars for 37 miles.
Because of the narrow, windy roads, the journey took a long time so, eventually, we had to stop and daddy got some fish and chips which we ate near the beach. It was a beautiful sight, not including the seagulls!
10 put of 10!

8 and a half hours in the car but worth every second.
