Glasgow, Scotland

Well, we have left Glasgow for Oslo and looking back at our time there, the things we loved the most were things we have easy access to in Australia. The things we are most excited about are the very Anglo things we seem to miss about our old home. Things like meat pies, fish and chips, people speaking english, peanut butter and OP SHOPS GALORE! It was such a cool city filled with vintage stores, craft markets, old buildings, a huge cemetery (kims favourite pastime) and the smell of bacon and haggis in the air. With alot of free museums, great coffee shops and micro breweries we walked around the city with a skip in our step.

Scotland Countryside

On our way to Glasgow we stopped to stay a night at one of Kims old friends from Melbourne. They live in a small sea side town and hour north of Glasgow and even drove us in to spend the day in Glasgow. It was so nice to spend time with Eliza and her husband Tim and learn about Scotland, beer, whisky, folk music and share our many stories of travel. Our highlight, sitting in an old pub lounge listening to 6 or more old and young Scots playing traditional folk music. Here are a few shots from around West Kilbride, Tim and Eliza's lovely neck of the woods.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Today we leave Edinburgh and our way to the other side of Scotland to visit and old friend of Kim's, before we go into Glasgow. We had some beautiful weather and the typical downpours, but this historic city has moistened our taste-buds for more of Scotland. Our trip highlights, lots of lovely little museums and galleries, a great airbnb apartment, a interesting guided tour through the city and a nice cup of coffee.

And we are off...

Thanks to the wonders of discount airlines, we are off and away on a 3 week adventure to Scotland, Norway and England. Yesterday we arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland and we having a great time exploring this beautiful city. Today we climbed up to Arthur's Seat, saw the castle, and even had our first deep fried mars bar.
