nwhikerInevitably, because we always do, we always cram too much into every day and computer times is non-existent, LOL.
But OMG, this has been wonderful.
The west and northern coasts of Scotland are a place of the most magnificent terrain and beauty.
The East is beautiful in its own way, more tame.
But the west and north, omg.
We're in Dundee, just spent a quick night here. Plan today was lots of stuff and then Glasgow. The kids leave tomorrow.
We did end up doing the lots of stuff: checked out a steam train and of course dh managed to talk himself and Anne-Chloe into the cab, so they go to a see a genuine UK heritage train being run. The people were of course thrilled, I suspect in part because it's always rare to see younger people and they appreciate that, as well as, well, girls.
After that, we drove (back to) Falkirk with a bit more time on our hands and rode the Falkirk Wheel which was lots of fun. I mean, a sloooow Ferris wheel where your seat is on a boat in a big bucket of water. I think we all explained Archimedes's principle to Linnea at least once, but when she started asking the correct questions, I knew she'd gotten it.
Next we went to see the The Kelpies then onto Glasgow, where we're in our budget hotel and we'll take the kids to the airport tomorrow.
It's been so wonderful travelling with them again. They're fun people to be around, they get along so well, and it's so nice to hang out with adult kids!
I'm going to miss having them.
