England and Scotland Trip

Awesome;

Others people are welcome to be toured in Edinburgh and make great savings for the modest price of a meal; or something...

 

[JerichoHill]

Haha! For a meal, for your smoky scotch...

 

[Kal'thzar]

Did any of your friends end up buying any of the smokier stuff?

Was it difficult adjusting to left hand drive?

 

[JerichoHill]

@Kal

Just me.

My wife drove. After a day or so she was fine. There were a few "More right please" moments. Not too tough

How far away from Nairn did you go? I am wondering, since that is my town, or my surname is the name of that town. It is one place I have to visit. My grandfather visited many years ago and brought us back some mugs from there. I got the blue one, since my eyes are blue and my brother got the brown one, since it is closer to black than blue is.

We drove through on our way to Inverness. Not that far away from the city

You visted Bath! What did you think of my home city?

Very cool, JH, and nice pictures.

How long were you in London? It appears I just missed you - I'll be making a short trip across the pond myself in a few weeks.

You didn't go to York. You missed out.

I would've told you about it if I had seen your suggestions thread. It's really worth a visit.

Did you manage to see a rugby game in the end?

The crescent was pretty, but I was shocked at how touristy the city is.

I was in London for 3 days, England and Scotland for 2 weeks. Fun times, but skip the Natural History Museum. Not as good as ours.

Always another time. We didn't have much extra time built in.

Saw a short cricket game!!!

 

[BCLG100]

What is that region like, since I will one day visit Nairn of course?

What did you think of the twenty/20 match?

We love tourists money though
