Who doesn't LOVE a good road trip? We've been planning this one for awhile; 9 nights in Bonnie Scotland focusing mostly on the highlands and inner Hebrides. We left Cheltenham at noon and drove to Moffat Scotland, a really sweet little town near the English border. The drive gave us our first taste of the M5 and the M6 on a Friday afternoon (!) but was otherwise uneventful except for the irrational hatred Erik developed for anyone in a green Land Rover or a gold car, whom he claimed were somehow out to "get 'im". A quick stop near Carlisle, England at the Walltown Crags to catch a glipse of Hadrian's Wall, an enormous stone wall built by the Romans dividing England and Scotland to keep out the "barbarians". After sprinting up a really big hill covered in sheep poo (which I find myself doing quite a bit here in England) we arrived at said wall, or at least the remains of part of it (sadly most of it was scavenged to build houses etc). Checked out the picture below! Stayed one night in Moffat at The Bridge House Hotel, which we liked very much. The owners' son lives in Kelowna, British Columbia (small world!). Stay tuned for more!
