Express By Holiday Inn Stirling

Fun trip to Murrayfield for Scotland v Fiji.....lots of happy Scottish faces after the win, boys in fancydress, stag parties galore, chuc-chucs ferrying folks home in the rain, great cocktails in an Italian Jazz bar and running to catch last train back home on a busy busy Saturday night train heading South.

... if you are trained in the area of expertise, you communicate to each other what that space represents personally. <br><br>As we traveled through the city we noticed the astounding architecture that had been built. Most of it was very modern, comtemporary work because of the war destruction in the Glasgow area. We took a look at the famous art school and imagined for a second what it would be like to work in their studios. <br>

... of a five year development programme they are starting in the village.<br><br>There were, therefore, lots of meetings to be carried out with lots of Important People. But apart from that, we were spending the afternoons entertaining children in an orphanage, and the mornings of the second two weeks doing school support for the local kids. <br><br>The orphanage was amazing! I was both looking forward to it (I am blatantly destined to spend my ...

... wisdom (HAH), I have come to find that usually the things in the prettiest packages are that way for a reason&#8230;there is nothing of practical use under the surface, and looking good on the outside is merely nature&#8217;s way of countering this fact. As much as I hate to stand on &#8220;Darwin&#8217;s Soapbox,&#8221; Ballachulish was a huge-mongous &#8482; waste of what could have been a perfectly good free day. The cheeseburger from the tourist information center was ...

... now. I quite enjoy hanging out with Mel. I'll be doing one last round of postcards soon, so if I haven't sent you one and you'd like it, get me your address, I'll try and get as many out as I can afford (it's actually pretty cheap). Hope you're all doing quite well at home and are starting to prepare for my coming home (no one will be used to handling my crazyness anymore). Peace, love and Rock'n'Roll.

... witnessed the coronation of a Scottish king (James the VI was crowned there by Mary, Queen of Scots). Gorgeous architecure, wonderful stain glass, a really wonderful place. I'll be going back with camera in hand at some point. It is also still an active church, so I may drop into a service at some point. The streak of sunny days is over, unfortunately, with the typical rain of the season returning today. But that's alright ...

On Saturday (2nd) we went on a tour out to Stirling. This is a place with heaps of history! We went to the battleground where Robert the Bruce defeated the English army. We then went up to the Stirling Jail and went on a tour there.....very very cool. We then got a year's pass to the Historic Scotland society (which lets us into heaps of castles and places ...

Edinburgh was great. We had (Isle -of-Wight, for those fellow tracks-travellers) Rob again as tour leader (nicknamed "erm" as this features as every second word he utters). On the trip up from London there were none of the homicidal exchanges that I had anticipated as the result of 75 people being crammed into an overnight bus for 9 hours, with no sleep and the headrest of the seat in front up their noses. In fact we all slept soundly ...
