Day 10, Aberfeldy to Pitlochry.
It was a beautiful morning, sunshine, light wind and while not warm was very pleasant.

If you're wondering why I'm walking to the same place two days in a row you need to read yesterday's post!

| River Tay outside Aberfeldy |
As I walked out of Aberfeldy I noticed a sign outside a hotel that said breakfast. I needed no more encouragement.

The route soon left the road and became a nice little path by the river where I met John and Sue, fellow TGO vetters.
 |
| Bluebells |
We walked on together to Grandtully where we stopped for coffee at the hotel. John and Sue were heading for Balinluig and beyond so our routes diverged.
 |
| A selection of chocolates |
There is a chocolate shop in Grandtully that advertises that it produces the best chocolate truffle in the world so I went in and bought one. Maybe my palate is jaded but I thought a Snickers bar was tastier and better priced.

I followed the Rob Roy Way over the hill to Pitlochry and there were some lovely views back to the Tay and beyond.

| Down to Pitlochry |
I was soon descending to the A9 and Pitlochry which as usual was full of Tourists. I can understand people coming to this area as it is beautiful but why they just hang around the town is less understandable.

I couldn't get into the backpackers until 17.00 so I had some time to look at the 'attractions', mostly retail therapy designed to empty your wallet.

At least there is a good co-op where I was able to purchase enough food for the rest of my walk.
