We had an early start this morning, as we had to get up and check out by 8am. We said thanks to Robert and headed out to the car, and started our journey over the border to York, England. The drive was long and boring. I took the time to update my blog. A couple of hours in, we stopped for fuel and snacks, then kept going. On the way, I may have accidentally led us on a bit of a detour... But it was ok, we got there in the end. Towards York, there were quite a bi...

We got up in time for breakfast today, but this time, Lyle slept through! After breakfast, we went back upstairs and got ready for the day. It was so hard not to go back to sleep!! When we were all ready, we got in the panda and drove out about 40 minutes to Stirling, where we went to Stirling castle. First thing when we got there, they charged us £4 just to park the car! There's not really any choice though, so we parked the car and headed in through the ga...

Today I snoozed through my alarm, so we missed out on breakfast! Damn! So we eventually woke up and got ready.

From the entrance, you had to climb HEAPS of stairs just to get to the next part! But...

We got up early again today, so we could get some breakfast. We met some of the other people who were staying there, and had a chat with them while we were eating our food. After breakfast we went to sort out our washing, and sent it downstairs to be washed. Then we went back upstairs to bed. After a bit more sleep, I got up and Skyped the family for a while, as everyone was there for Jace's birthday. I got passed around the table and got to say hi to everyone (e...

Today we woke up nice and early to get some breakfast at the B&B, which is included in our accommodation. We went downstairs, and Robert came out, and served us up some tea, toast, cereal, juice, and even some hot food! Darren got a bit of a fry up and I got some scrambled eggs and potato bread. Yummy! Then we decided we'd head back up to get some more sleep. Next thing we knew, it's 1.30pm! Must have needed that sleep! I think it may be the first time I've w...
