In a country with human history that goes back to the 600’s. Any museum that attempts to chart this history would be huge, and the museum of Scotland is indeed huge. Oh and beyond charting theBaca selengkapnya

This area was about 2 bus stops away from the very busy section of Edinburgh, but it felt like a whole different world.

Today we had a 11:45 tee time at the Himalayan course, just next to “The Old Course “ at Saint Andrew’s.
Pam for the win! Enough said. She shot 54 for the 18 holes. Extra impressive as we allBaca selengkapnya
Pelancong Hay, we played golf at St Andrews, the home of golf! That is very cool! Just to get a tee time I had to make a reservation 3 days in advance. We had a ton of fun and didn’t have to pay the 350 pound green fee, of the Old Course right next to the putting course.

St. Andrew’s was a busy stop. We wrapped our day of excitement with another meet up with more nomad travelers. Ian and Diane (although technically not nomads) are travelers like us. They’ve livedBaca selengkapnya

Beyond the golf course and the University, St. Andrew’s is a very nice place. Typical Scottish town with a castle and cathedral ruins but a very nice seaside and beach. Pretty and worth the side trip.

Are those ski gondolas or leftover pods from the ol' lock down days of COVID?

I’m very fond of paintings. Mostly the impressionists so I always hunt around for viewing museums. Today took me to the National Gallery, not the portrait gallery or Modern 2, which I’m saving forBaca selengkapnya

A leisurely stroll through the Royal botanical garden. Many flowers were getting ready to open their blooms. Occasionally there was an early bloomer. It felt like a preview of an upcoming colorfulBaca selengkapnya
Pelancong I don’t think there are any labyrinth. We did not find one. It is a very large garden and we only explored about half of it, so it’s possible we missed it?
