... beach big, sandy and empty. took a few photographs.<br>Monday 19 got a boat "Serenity" from Seahouses to the Farne islands, about a 1 1/2 hour journey, saw lots of seals and the Longstone lighthouse where Grace Darling lived and rowed out to save the passengers on a stricken vessel which had drifted onto the rocks. no photos because I forgot the camera!

... Jeannie's via Haddington for some great fish and chips!!. Wednesdday we stayin around Dunbar as the weather was miserable. We went out for dinner down in Dunbar and the weather did improve. We had a samashing meal a few drinks and then back home as it was a school night!<br>On Thursday we went tovist friends in Bo'ness Liz and ...

... I&#8217;ve enjoyed our beautiful landscape of blues and greys and golds, goodbye cute little towns full of cobbles and closes, goodbye food that pushes the limits of my gag reflex, and goodbye to good friends that we&#8217;ve grown to love. I sincerely hope that we will return and glean a bit more of your richness. <br><br>

... repair. We&#8217;ve been noticing over the last little while that they&#8217;ve developed slow leaks. At first I took the worst one, since I like a more deflated mattress and my body weight didn&#8217;t deflate it as quickly. But soon the other mattress was showing signs of leakage as well. They&#8217;re now both too bad and are requiring mid-night refills. Slathering the mattress in soapy water, we tried to detect where the leaks were (I ...

I have been travelling the Borders Abbey way and St Cuthberts Way for a few days now. On the whole well marked footpaths, except where a farmer it would seem has taken down a sign and there was no sight of a path through his crop!!! I am now having a day off in Kelso so I can catch up on computer things. Unfortunately they wont let me plug in my computer so I cant download photos at the moment, afraid you'll have to wait for those!!! We are struggling for decent camping ...

... and I tell ya what, it did my head in a bit that the sun doesn't completely go down till around 10.30/11.00pm! Def freaked me out a little... Sunday was a lazy morning, then Cat and I headed back in to town to catch a bus to Musselbrough to watch the end of the marathon. The really cool thing about Cat's place is that when you walk out the fornt door, turn right and look up, you see Edinburgh Castle right there, I think that's cool... Very windy day, but nice and sunny. So ...

Yes, I should officially be deemed insane - choosing to "fall" out of a mini-aircraft (what some would call a plane) 13,000ft in the sky! Let me walk you through my thoughts leading up to the skydive: To be honest, I never really took time to think about it - to feel nervous, scared etc. There were many occasions where friends/colleagues would tell me that I was crazy or "nuts" for choosing to undertake such ...

Scotland was a great place, - the best part probably being the magnificent countryside. I wasn't really playing on visiting Scotland originally, but a girl I worked with during the summer (Heather) is studying there, and a girl I work with at the hostel (Caroline) was planning on going there. The trip got off to a rocky start, you can say. I worked the night shift before we left - and got off at 8:30am. We had to catch a bus to the airport at 5pm, so ...

Holy **** its windy today! It's difficult to walk down the street because the wind is so strong. They closed Edinburgh castle because of the strong winds, apparently it can be dangerous because it sits on top of a hill and gets the strongest wind. Apparently today is St. Andrew's Day, whatever that is ...

... I was Dolly Parton. We just stayed up late drinking beer and chatting with other travellers, which was great. Didnt have a real late night as tomorrow we have to get up and head to the airport to catch a plane to Ireland, should be great. Will be writing next from Dublin, until then, bye bye!
