Loch Lomond, Balloch

Last Sunday, we went to Balloch (a residential village located 4 miles from Scotland) by train. As usual, I will prepare 2 beef burgers and 2 boiled eggs for our adventure. We walked very fast to the train station cos we were looking forward to go to Loch Lomond. It is Britain's largest lake and also known as "The Queen of Scottish Lakes" and "Gateway to the Highlands".

The Pretty Tullie Inn

We got this Balloch map and started our walking adventure

Our 1st stop was The Loch Lomond Sea Life Acquarium. It looks and sounds interesting from its website. We checked out this place on our own risk (didn't ask who went there before and didn't check its review online...forgot to check). 

Actually it costs us £12 each but I printed out the vouchers that entitled us 2 for 1 on all adult tickets

*save half of the money*

Our right hand is stamped on entry 

The decor along the pathway

The highlight of this aquarium that attracted me

One of otters spotted us

See, it stood up to greet us

Cute stingrays

Pregnant male seahorse (but only pregnant for 3 weeks)

*Good cos male can experience the pregnancy labour for female*

Heavy pregnancy till tilted. Haha

The breathtaking view

Focus on those 3 transparent balls. There was a kid inside each individual ball and they kept rolling in the water without getting wet. They must be having a lot of fun playing that. They reminded me of the movie "Bubble Boy".

Haiya, octo again

After the aquarium, we went for a walk outside its compound.

While posing for this pic, I saw a cruise was coming our way

Hubby waved to them and said to me, "Let's board this cruise later".

Went there to purchase the tickets

Cost us £21 for 2 adults 

Our cruise to Loch Lomond!

Excited 'ngiao ji' face

Captured the following pics and scenery while cruising along the Loch Lomond:

Whatever palace or residence *forgot*

Duck Bay Marina

Hubby said we should stop there and buy ducks later (*o*)" since Glasgow doesn't have any duck supply.
*only talked but didn't buy*

The highland view

Another castle

Strong wind gave me this hairstyle

Another cool hairstyle

(Actually wanted to tidy up my hair 1st for the pic but hubby said don't cos natural look is beauty.
Oh, yakah?)

Strong current

The yacht we met

The bar inside the cruise

Camera-shy and camera-love

Ok, faster took pic with this and that for momento *v*

That was our Sunday trip. So tiring but we enjoyed the whole trip! Happy!
