It is difficult to describe our trip to Scotland. Not that we don't remember anything, but experienced a lot in a really short time. To summarize, it was something like this: flight, food, train, Stoneheaven, food, Perth, food, BBC Biggest Weekend, train, food, Balloch, food, bicycles, food, Edinburgh, running a half marathon, more food (comes natural after a race), Steak & Mussels, sightseeing, even more food, pubs and having fun, already leaving? Noooo.
A few interesting things and observations
- Scots speak English .. supposedly
- their national animal is the unicorn and the national plant is the thistle
- we took a look at Stoneheaven, a castle on the coast built on a cliff
- we listened to Jamie Cullum and Karine Polwart at the Biggest Weekend festival
- we tasted Haggies, you better not even google the recipe
- Luky ran a half marathon through Edinburgh and placed 32nd
- Scottish countryside is beautiful, and the castles and lakes even more so
- you say that steak and mussels don't go together? say it out loud at the Steak&Mussels
- we are fit enough for the most demanding trips, we ain't no babies .. supposedly
