Sunday!
The weather seemed better, way better then the previous day.
Although I woke up later than I should, I still had many hours of light as the sunset was at around 21h30m.
This time I decided to go South!
I first stopped in Ayr, a little coastal town near Prestwick's airport.
Later on, Girvan
Kept going South...
And got to the Rhinns Peninsula.
Found a nice little lighthouse that was also a hostel and a restaurant. Cheap, of course!
Here's me with my old friend MuuCow!
Found Mathilda on the way, MuuCow's girlfriend!
Got to Portpatrick, another nice little costal town!
Going South...
Niiice!
And finally I got to the Southernmost point of Scotland - Rhinns of Galloway's lighthouse.
Here's the lighthouse!
Took this photo short before sunset, when I still had around 120 miles in front of me to get to Glasgow by narrow, twisty roads.
Right after that photo I sat on the bike, tried to turn it on and... nothing!!
For the first time I had a mechanical problem with my bike - many miles away from the nearest mechanic, miles away from the nearest person to say the truth! Getting colder pretty fast, hungry and tired, not a good scenario!
Fortunately my mechanical skills weren't too bad and I managed to repair it.
Got to Glasgow late at night, it was raining, I was tired... but happy! :)
