Displayed times (last time: )
It is very early indeed, when the alarm clock wakes us at 6. But our sleepiness is washed away by the rain that pours down when we walk to the bus stop, one without a shelter. We are soaked when we get into the bus that takes us to the airport. As on the trip to Scotland, we put the wet jackets in our bags and try to get dry a bit. We have a last good Scottish breakfast after checking in and before we know we are above the clouds in the sun. We feel sorry to leave the country again, although it feels as if we have been here much longer than two weeks. Or is it Esmée, our young granchild that we have been missing more and more the last week? A nice prospect to see here again in a few hours as soon as we have arrived home. We have had a great time in Scotland, as always, and discovered a lot of new things; and there is still more to see and do!
Back in Holland, the weather is a bit better and dry. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon we are home again, but richer with fresh memories and experiences. And quite a bit poorer..., since Scotland is an expensive country for most other Europeans. But taht is not important at this moment, we will start saving again for the next trip and this summer we will take our tent to have a cheaper holiday. Then we will have a better look at the eternal opponents of the Scots, the English.
