Ready for Departure
As dusk descends, the promised monsoon rains have not quite materialised but it is cold and very windy. It's good to know we will in hot and sunny climes quite soon.
Luggage is nearly packed. Judith has been scouring the shops for suitable light clothing and we have vast quantities of medical items including insect repellents and malaria tablets.
No room for the cricket bat I'm afraid.

Most of the buildings date back a hundred years or so and look amazing but nothing much older.
Day 155: Finally arrived in Scotland.

Newcastle/Ferry Crossing - From Agony to Ecstasy
... steaming chili. It looked sooo good, just perfect for the weather outside. I checked the price, and had enough money to pay for it, but that would leave me with nothing for the rest of the day and night. I didn't care. I'd worry about that later. I ordered it.
