Hello all,
Since last I talked to you the girls and I have been quite busy. The day after our Liverpool adventures we headed out to Nottingham for a day of Robin Hood fun. Sadly, the girls discovered that the town's tourism industry has not capitalised on it's legendary character claim to fame as well as some other towns. The underground cave walk was closed temporarily, and busses to Sherwood forest and all that it contains only run four times a day, none of which were convenient to them getting home again that day. Disappointed, the girls decided they would come back another day to try again and instead wandered through some shops and the old town before heading back to nan's to pack because the next day they were off to Scotland!
After a long day of travel, they managed to set up the tent durning a break in the rain, did NOT have potatoes for supper, and still had time to head back into Edinburgh city centre and catch a fringe show (a hilarious three man partly improvised show based around found objects). This morning they wandered the fringe market, saw a show (dancing pirates, bad choice) went to a craft fair and checked out old buildings, saw a show (Casablanca spoof, good choice), walked down a very long street, and are currently waiting to...you guessed it, see a show (supervillain musical, verdict unknown at press time).
So far Scotland is fantastic! Cari is over the moon about the gigantic-ness of the fringe festival, Lauren is elated about the bagpipe players on street corners, and Emma is ecstatic she got to walk through old buildings without getting rained on for a change.
The show is almost starting so I will leave you here. The plan is pizza for dinner tonight then back to the campground and up early to see the castle, then off to Inverness for two days to chase the loch ness monster!
Cheers,
Tim
