It must be said….

It must be said that the Higmans have a lot of luggage. (OK, I will get a better picture when we are above ground.)

And, are eating their way through Scotland….  Our tour guide kept saying “it must be said” so I’m figuring it’s a Scottish saying.

Big Scottish Breakfast

“American Pancakes”

Smoothie bowl

Burger

Dinner at the Castle Pub

Drinking J20 – their new favorite drink of passion fruit and orange juices

Udon

Bento Box

aubergine

Black pudding is not our favorite but everything else was good.  Their American pancakes were baked, I think.  Texture and look were a little different but tasted good, nevertheless.

Edinburgh Castle was crazy.  It sits on top of this huge rock.  Did you know that many parts of Scotland were formed via volcanoes.  The landscape is a lot like what we saw in Norway.  I can see why they put the castle up here. It would have been very difficult for anyone to get into.  As with anywhere in Europe during the summer season, there were a lot of tourists.

On to Inverness we go.  It is definitely a lot colder here.  We went from 90 degree weather in the Netherlands and London to 60 degrees in Scotland. The landscape is beautiful and very green. We will be exploring Inverness more tomorrow.

Beautiful landscape on the way north.

Finding cute streets in the center of town.

Is this Scottish?

We will be heading to Lochness tomorrow to find Nessie!  I’m determined to find her so stay tuned!!
