We decided to go out for a drive, even though the forecast was for sun and showers. There was a waterfall we wanted to find, as well as have lunch in Gairloch, at a hotel with good fish and chips. We found Victoria Falls, when it started to rain, but walked up to it anyway. Not only did we find the falls, but a beautiful rainbow. Double score!

| First sighting of Victoria Falls. |
Victoria Falls was named for Queen Victoria, who visited here in 1877. We tried to find out more about her visit, but Google let us down.

| Hiking closer to the top of the falls. |
 |
| They use the force of the water to produce electricity. |
 |
| Above the falls, the river runs over red sandstone. |
 |
| Looking towards Loch Maree, there was a double rainbow! |

Driving on to Gairloch, the weather was a combination of sun and rain, with more of the latter. When we arrived at the hotel for lunch, there was a chalkboard leaning against the wall, with "No lunch today" written on it. Oh, well, it was a beautiful drive, even in the rain.
