D10+11 Scotland - West Coast Ayrshire

After an unexpectedly long sleep in, we:

- Had a wander through the Main Street of Ayr.
- Visited Burns Cottage, and Anthony ate a full Scottish breakfast including a ‘link’ and ‘square’.
- Drove through Alloway and saw Kate’s grandma’s old house on the river Doon now featuring a large golden rocking horse in a conservatory.
- Were tripped out by the ‘Electric Brae’ where we rolled uphill in neutral.
- Paid a visit to the majestic Culzean Castle where Kate’s parents were married 35 years ago (ps, congratulations!).
- Were guests at the family reunion dinner held in a delicious cafe in Troon.
- Viewed the major sites of Ayreshire as Kate’s ‘Aunt and Uncle’ chauffeured us around. This included seeing the birthplace of Andrew Fisher! Amazing...!

Today we rose a little earlier and hit the road north to Largs:
- Caught the ferry to Cumbrae.
- Circumnavigated the island on bike -10 mile.
- Were told by the bike store owner that Australians were the second country to log on to his webcam - google Mape and Sons!
- Walked 3 mile from Millport back to the ferry terminal.
- Conducted an in depth analysis of the difference between a US Starbucks Frappuccino and a UK Costa iced caramel latte.
- Ate steak with Kates godparents and Telstra family members - it was a hoot!
- Completed our third late night philosophical discussions with Kate’s Aunt and Uncle.
