I am in Scotland. Last day. Things I’ve done; golfed, eaten coursed “Downton Abbey” type meals many times, traveled on the royal Scotsman, hiked to castles on the isle of Skye, as well as caves. I took a boat cruise through the Highlands, drank way too much scotch, biked through the Highlands. Did a wilderness/nature/survivalist hike. Did I mention scotch? There’s been a lot. Walking tour of Edinburgh, hiked to King Arthur’s Seat.

This is not the type of vacation that my wife and I would have a planned, but it was a gift from my in-laws and as such we followed suit. It was a really interesting way to see Scotland. I’m very grateful. Lots of fine dining, lots of very nice hotels. Lots of champagne. I had a taste of a world I have only seen on the fringes.

Joanna and I snuck in some bike rides, hikes etc. otherwise, it was a trip of dining and drinking. No complaints.
