Western House Ayr

Travelled from Fife over to West of Scotland and Hamilton, just south of Glasgow.
Watched the game which Hamilton won 2-1 and really enjoyed the atmosphere. On the radio on the way home though learned that there had been fighting in the players tunnel after the game and the Police had been involved. Boys will be boys!!
Sat with the Hearts fans ... not happy! Team were poor and they can see their club is in decline!

... em back! Now that's what I call a family!" Try thinking of this in a Scottish accent.

A small glass of Glenmorangie and then off for dinner. Haggis, neeps (Turnips mashed) and Tatties (Spuds mashed). Very nice and very filling.

Home to meet the family. A great welcome, some more Scottich accents and off to the Motherwell version of an RSL for a sing along. Some ...

... we were drinking our coffee we decided to do a quick sketch of the train station. As we were sitting there a nice older man in a kilt caught a glance of what we were doing and invited himself over. He pulled up a chair and started to explain to us that he used to teach architectural drawing classes and now is a professional artist who gives presentations on his work. He asked to take a look of each of our sketchbooks and gave ...

Short and sweet...Were in Glasgow right now...FINALLY!!! All I can say is that this is what travelling is all about!! We ha our first trial, tribulation, glitch today, whatever you wanna call it! We travelled by car, taxicab, bus, boat(ferry), train and bus...and then car again, all in one day. And as mentioned in every single blog, what would one day be without us getting lost. Except this time, we thought we were in Glascow and were actually in a ...

Flew Ryan Air to Glasgow-Prestwick airport. We arranged to rent a van from www.dchscotland.co.uk/. We were very happy with both the service. The van was a 7-seater Renault Espace. That particular make and model would not be first choice for our drivers (tight gears and some handling complaints) but it ran smoothly and reliably and got us from place to place. We had to wait for a bit in the ...

... hear it, and were not encumbered by Bosnian subtitles. However, if someone convinces you to take the confection known as Jelly Babies to the theatre, resist mightily - these were utterly foul. After yesterday's religion fest, today we are taking a science day at the Science Center. Eric is quite pleased about this...we'll also just take it easy along the Clyde, and see what there is to see in that part of town. Hope you all remain well - love to all of you.

The beautiful and scenic sights of the Lakes District make up the majority of today's itinerary including the obligatory train ride to and cruise on Lake Windamere, I was not disappointed except that it was raining which would slow down the taking of happy snaps. The journey between destinations is not long in the UK, although our tour director Caroline tells us that we will be spending alot of time on the road - two to three hours which is not much to ...

... to "Save the Animals" and one of their leaders was a gentleman wearing a hat with a pink unicorn on it. We passed our time laughing with a couple of guys right from Glasgow and toasted the pink unicorn more than once. After which, we found a pub to eat in and then made our way out to an Irish bar in Scotland, where a good time was had to the wee hours of the morning.

off to singapore!! for those who know me, youll know how much i dislike flying, but in fact i really enjoyed the flight from hong kong to singapore, mainly as there was a huge thunder and lightning storm not far out of singapore - ive never seen anything like it. the clouds were all being lit up from below, in loads of places by the lightning - it was an amazing natural light show! when i arrived in singapore, it was actually several degrees cooler than hk, probably as a result of the ...
