    Inverness AirBnB

    30 April 2022, Scotland ⋅ 🌧 50 °F

    This one made us a little nervous. The doors are super sketch and the stairs inside even more so. Thankfully, the actual apartment is tiny, but clean, cozy, and adorable. We're also about 3 minutes from the main town square, and across the street from a Tesco grocery.

    However, the toilet makes a noise upon flushing that the girls have described as "summoning Cthulhu". So I've added it here for the memories.    Baca lagi

    Culloden Visitor's Center

    1 Mei 2022, Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

    I found out halfway through I wasn't allowed to take pics inside, oops!

    There are a lot of swords, guns, bullets, letters, books and more on display. There was even Charlie's death mask. The right walls tell the story from the Jacobites point of view, while the left tells the government's.

    I hadn't really thought of it as a civil war before, but that's really what it was. Our guide mentioned that more Scots were fighting on the government side than on Bonnie Prince Charlie's.

    Entrance included a battlefield tour, and the docent was fantastic.    Baca lagi

    Culloden Battlefield

    1 Mei 2022, Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

    "On 16 April 1746, the final Jacobite Rising came to a brutal head in one of the most harrowing battles in British history.

    Jacobite supporters, seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British thrones, gathered to fight the Duke of Cumberland’s government troops. It was the last pitched battle on British soil and, in less than an hour, around 1,600 men were slain – 1,500 of them Jacobites."

    This was the last hand-to-hand battle on British soil.

    The clan stones and memorials were very moving, and it's a beautiful place.

    Leanach Cottage was used as a field hospital. The door was so small even Anya would have needed to duck!    Baca lagi

    Caledonian Sleeper Train

    1 Mei 2022, Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    This was quite an experience! Go to sleep in Inverness, wake up in London! I wish we could travel this way all the time.

    Tiny, tiny rooms, but a real bed, sink and even an ensuite toilet and shower!

    Breakfast in the club car in the morning was delicious.

    I slept great, it reminded me of trips in the motorhome when I was little.    Baca lagi

    Platform Nine and Three Quarters

    2 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

    We couldn’t pass through London without a stop at King’s Cross Station - because yes, we had to get photos at Platform 9¾.

    The team there is amazing—they’ll toss the scarf, pose you just right, and snap the perfect magical moment. Totally worth the line (and the giggles)! We were in line with the cutest little Harry.Baca lagi

    Ea-Nasir and his bad copper

    2 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F

    The oldest known customer complaint. It's from Ur and written in cuneiform. What a thing to be remembered for.

    “Tell Ea-Nasir: Nanni sends the following message:

    When you came, you said to me: “I will give fine quality copper ingots.”

    You left, but you did not do what you promised me.

    You put ingots which were not good before my messenger and said:

    “If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!”

    What do you take me for that you treat me with such contempt? …

    … How have you treated me for that copper?

    You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory;

    it is now up to you to restore to me in full.

    Take notice that I will not accept any copper from you that is not of fine quality.

    I shall select and take the ingots individually in my yard,

    and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.”    Baca lagi

    Tower of London

    3 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F

    We had the BEST Beefeater tour guide. We walked right into the Tower of London as he was starting off. He's beefy409 on Facebook.

    This is the place of kings, queens, and executions. The crown jewels are houses here (no pictures allowed).

    The Beefeaters are the Queen's personal guard and still live here. They must serve 20 years in the armed forces before being able to apply. More people have been to space than have become Beefeaters.

    Legend has it that as long as the ravens still live at the Tower, England will not fall.    Baca lagi

    Buckingham Palace and St James Park

    3 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F

    No changing of the guard today, they are prepping for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrating her 70 year reign (the longest of any British monarch).

    The gardeners were thinning the tulips and giving them out. The girls were thrilled, and a kind older lady at Westminster Abbey told Éowyn what a very special day it was, to receive a flower from the Queen.Baca lagi

    Big Ben

    3 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Lots of work going on, couldn't go in.

    ----

    Standing tall and majestic on the banks of the River Thames in London, Big Ben is an iconic symbol of British history and culture. Often used to refer to the entire clock tower, Big Ben technically refers only to the massive bell housed within. Nevertheless, the tower and its resounding chimes have become synonymous with the city's identity. With its stunning Gothic architecture and four illuminated clock faces, Big Ben is a sight to behold, particularly when it comes alive at night. As one of the most recognized landmarks in the world, visitors from far and wide gather to witness the clock's melodious chiming, which has marked London's time for over 150 years. Its presence near the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey adds to the historical significance of the area, making Big Ben an essential stop for any traveler exploring the vibrant city of London.Baca lagi

    Anya is really taking to this mode of travel. She's navigating like a pro.

    Willow is reminding us to mind the gap. Every. Time.

    Éowyn is playing with the Queen's tulip to occupy herself.
