      Auf der Suche nach den Feen

      14. juni, Skottland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Bei Luss, am Loch Lomond gibt es einen Feen Wanderweg. Sehr schön verwunschen im Wald mit viel Farn, liebevoll angelegt. Wenn man sich ein bisschen mehr Mühe gibt als ich, kann man unterwegs einige Rätsel machen und bekommt als Lösung einen Zauberspruch. Pech für mich!
      Durch die Berge und immer wieder am Wasser entlang ging es weiter, zwischendurch hatten wir den Eindruck wieder in Norwegen zu sein, Fjordlandschaft in grau.
      Eigentlich wollten wir nachher in ein Pub zum Fußball gucken, aber wir sind schon wieder müde und müssten gut 3km hin und zurück fahren. Da für später auch Regen angesagt ist, am besten mit dem Auto. Vielleicht gucken wir einfach ein anderes Spiel.

      Edinburgh - Day 2

      13. juni, Skottland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Another big walk about today. Close to 25K steps! What better way to see a city with so much of interest to see though, eh? Our plan for today had been to walk up the castle and tour inside. Unfortunately, we weren’t the only ones with that in mind. So, admission tickets were sold out for the day and we couldn’t get in! Everyone had bought them online beforehand. Now you not only have to book accommodations and transportation beforehand, you need to do that for popular tourist attractions as well, it seems.
      Sometimes things happen for a reason that isn’t always immediately apparent. After finding out that we couldn’t tour the castle, we walked back down the hill and came across the National Art Gallery. It is free of charge so we decided to check it out. Turns out that the museum contains a very large collection of paintings and art including from the likes of Rembrandt and Matisse. It was more than you could possibly appreciate in one visit, but it was enjoyable to take in a sampling for a few hours.
      From the museum we walked back to our place of stay for lunch and a rest before continuing the walk about. Our next destination was Dean’s Village, a picturesque area of town with a small river where there were once several mills for grinding grain to supply the city’s bakeries. We followed a path along the river all the way to our next destination, The Royal Botanical Gardens. That was also very enjoyable. There are several areas, organized into themes such as Chinese Medicinal garden, Rock Garden, Woodlands Garden … each with a huge collection of plant species, many we had never before seen.
      We had by now covered a lot of area and it was time to pick up some food and head back to our room to make dinner. I had a tasty East Indian curried chicken with rice meal. Laura and Emma had pasta.

      Wallace Monument

      13. juni, Skottland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Nur weil wir gestern zufällig einen Flyer vom Wallace Monument in der Hand hatten und das Bild echt spektakulär aussah, sind wir heute nach Stirling gefahren. Was für ein Glück!
      Eigentlich wollten wir erst zum Stirling Castle, da war aber der Parkplatz voll und irgendwo in der Stadt parken (mit Anhänger) war auch nicht einfach möglich.
      Dann eben erst zum Monument, da war nicht nur genug Platz, der Parkplatz ist auch noch kostenlos. 👍🏼
      Das Wallace Monument ist ein 67m hoher Turm, der - Überraschung - zu Ehren dem Freiheitskämpfer William Wallace gebaut wurde.
      Bis zur Aussichtsplattform braucht man nur 246 Stufen in einer engen Wendeltreppe hochzuklettern, dann hat man eine wunderbare Aussicht. Leider muss man später die Stufen auch wieder nach unten laufen.

      Yorkshire Dales

      13. juni, England ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      A fabulous and picturesque day hiking up and down the beautiful valleys and fells between Orton and Kirby Stephen. Pastures full of beautiful thick wildflowers very peaceful and serene, large farms with housing barns and large piles of used fodder with their own fertilising system of manure spread by tractor. Deep valleys with Roman bridges, rock wall lanes, hawthorn trees and plantations. Everyone going well, trooping along with little problem, only a few soft tumbles so far.Les mer

      LEGOLAND Windsor!

      13. juni, England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Well, we officially made it to Legoland! Can't wait to explore!!

      Our day:
      We went on many rides throughout the day and explored the Mini Village. Our favorite ride was The Flight of the Sky Lion and the Mini Figure Speedway. We did these twice at the end.

      When we got to our room, Ben found a riddle sheet with questions he had to answer to crack the safe and get his treasure!

      Oxford - Cotswolds

      11. juni, England ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Today we leave London and start our 10 day tour through England, finishing at Edinburgh. 13 of us on the Tour. We are the only Kiwis, and there is a mix of Australians and Americans. We are heading to the city of Oxford, founded by the Anglo Saxons in 400 AD, and a couple of hundred years later the Vikings arrived. Today Oxford is well known for the prestigious Oxford University. Also the Ashmolean Museum, the oldest museum in the country, art from Leonardo da Vinci and Michael Angelo and numerous others. Oxford is a stunning city!! We have loved the experience. (and another hat shop eh Lyndon!) This afternoon we headed to the Cotswolds, several stunning honeycomb villages,.. strolling through these old villages was magnificent!!Les mer

      Edinburgh, Scotland

      12. juni, Skottland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      And so, another overseas adventure has begun for Laura and I! Day 1 was a long, travel day beginning at 2:30 pm when I left Duncan to pick Laura up from work and drive down to Victoria to meet up with Marc and drive out to the Victoria airport. We had a bit of stress on the Malahat when we came to a sudden standstill just south of the Shawnigan Lake exit and saw traffic backed up for as far as the eye could see! There had been a vehicle accident, but luckily, it was just being cleared as we arrived, and soon traffic was flowing, albeit very slowly for quite a distance.
      The flight to Vancouver and then the connecting flight to London both left on time and we had seats together despite not having paid for seat selections when booking. We were also able to check in our carry-ons for free, which was nice. On arrival at Heathrow in London we made our way on foot and train to terminal 5 where we found a Cafe Costa and stopped for lattes. Emma arrived at Heathrow from Newquay, on the English coast, soon after, and we headed to section A9, where we arranged to meet, just inside the security zone for departures.
      It was great seeing her again! Emma had been traveling through Europe with her friend, Emma for 6 weeks. The “M&M’s” visited England, The Netherlands, France, Poland, Italy, Austria, Spain and Portugal together and now, Emma, would travel to Scotland and Ireland with us for the next three weeks before heading off on her own for an additional month of travel.
      We had to wait a few hours at Heathrow, but soon we were on our way to the final destination for the day, Edinburgh. Once there we made our way to the bus stop and caught the bus to town where we got off just a few hundred meters from our AirBNB accommodation. We were a little concerned on arrival when we couldn’t find the lock box with the key to get inside, but soon realized that the room was on Atholl Lane not Atholl Crescent!
      Shortly after dropping off our luggage in the room we walked a short distance to a local pub where we had dinner. Laura had a vegan chili, I had the meat version, and Emma had Mac ‘n Cheese. I also quenched my thirst with both an Ossian beer (a local beer with citrus added) and a Scottish lager. The pub was packed as it was open mic night. We left shortly after that started at 9 pm.

      London

      11. juni, England ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Today we're visiting The Tower of London (built in the 1200s ) where Kings Henry and Edward and William the Conquer lived. Also the crown jewels have been kept here since 1661. Unfortunately we could take pictures of everything else except the jewels (but have taken pics from the book) Incredible history here!!!
      Thanks to Nicki and Mark for your generous hospitality and for taking the time to show us London over these last few days. We have had a fantastic time here!! and it has made us appreciate how old this city is.
      It was also great to see Luka and Eva (and your 3rd Spoilt child Roxy (the dog).

      London

      10. juni, England ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Today we visited St Paul's Cathedral (where Princess Diana got married) and walked up those same steps she did. A magnificent building built in 1675. We then had a browse around Harrods, just amazing, you can basically buy anything you want from all over the world, (including NZ) and as you can see Lyndon found a nice pillow, and it was on special for 279GBP (about NZ$580) The experience of wandering around the streets of London is surreal and as for the Underground, thats a whole new level (Not Lyndons fave place, let's just say... Crocodile Dundee in New York, and we'll leave it at that)Les mer
