    Up and about for a full day in Glasgow, after breakfast we headed out and started walking towards the Tenament House which is exactly how it was lived in so many years ago, it is a true example of life back in the 1800s. On the way to the house the heavens opened up and it poured and poured, lucky we had our raincoats. After that we decided to jump back on to the hop on hop off bus and headed to the Cathedral which was just beautiful, we then just wandered around the shops for a while before heading back to the hotel for a rest, dinner was in a Italian restuarant that was amazing.Læs mere

    Up early and hit the road driving to Staffin. Along the way we stopped to meet some Hairy Coo's lol very cute, we also stopped at a few lookouts on the way. There was just so much to see, its amazingly beautiful even in the rain. We stopped at a castle that is owned by the Macrae family and has been since 1520 its called Eilean Donan Castle and the family still live in parts of it. What an amazing time the kids would have growing up in a place like that. Off again on our way to Staffin to our B&B that is home for the night, the roads had me on the edge of my seat a lot, I think I have left finger nail marks in my seat lol. Our B&B hosts Kate and Steve are just brilliant, she paints animals and he paints landscapes , amazing couple.Læs mere

    Well today is a day I have been waiting for, for a long time, I finally got to Loch Ness to find her.

The boat took us to Castle Urquart which was interesting very crowded though but it was well worth the trip. We then got back on the boat for the return trip, once we got back we drove to the Nessy centre to have a look through. It was a wonderful day.

    6. juni 2019, Skotland ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Up and breakfasted and out and about again. First catch the hop on hop off bus to the Royal Brittania Yacht, it was a great tour so well organised and it was really lovely. It was actually a home, not over the top like I thought it might be. There was so many personal items and photos around it was really nice. We then left to go on the Dungeons tour, it was really interesting to discover the underneath of the city that you wouldnt know was there. It was covered in for over 100 years until the 1980's when it was rediscovered. We then jumped back on to the bus and off to the Holyrood Palace which is the official residence of the Queen when in Scotland. Apparantly Princess Anne was there today but she kept away from the masses lol, it was really interesting to see all the painting etc, it was a very full day but really interesting.-Læs mere

    Up and on the road again, first stop Chesters Roman Fort Museum along Hadrians Wall. Wow what an amazing experience, it was discovered by a wealthy farmer who then bought up other farms along the wall and preserved the relics in a museum. Then we saw the Drygrange Viaduct crossing the Tweed river as we drove along, and stopped to take a few photos. Back into the car and off to York, after 4 hours of driving we checked into our accomodation and rested until dinner time, which we had at Valentinos down the road, some magic Italian food.Læs mere

    York

    8. juni 2019, England ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    Up to a very rainy day here in York, so we got on the Hop on Hop off bus and did a full loop before getting off and going to York Minster. How amazing the windows are, incredible and you can go beneath it and see the original Roman fort that it is built on. We then went to the Castle Museum which was really interesting, it has a entire area done up like a old time village, it was really interesting. We then went for a walk down in the rain to The Shambles which is the narrowest street in York. They say the buildings lean towards each other as they go up and that up the top you could shake hands from one building to another. We watched Yorks pride march as well.Læs mere
