So the boys at the coffe shop at the airport tell me that's the way to say good bye in Scotland. Of course I'll be back in just over a month, but we are sitting down having a good coffee (or I'm just getting used to the bad stuff) at the Glasgow airport. We drove to Inverness yesterday (455 mile round trip) via Loch Lomond & Loch Ness (didn't see the monster but got a post card for my class & will tell them I did). The countryside was beautiful. Not that we saw much on the way up - way home a different story - the mountains came right up to the road & were massive. Janette drove our hire car. In Scotland it over doubles the cost of the car if you want an automatic. Janette was happy to drive & I was happy to navigate (with the help of the AA map and TomTom our GPS). We didn't get lost but there were a few 'challenging' moments at roundabouts - and the lady in our TomTom left us in our hour of need giving no help of when we needed to exit. The Scottish drivers were very kind & didn't beep or crash into us as we stop on a major roundabout outside Glasgow. Very wise to take out the car insurance.
Will write more when I can. Hope all is going well in Oz
