If I don't return from a vacation with suitcases heavy with books something would probably seem off (not that it's happened in recent memory).Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-80717998280955339632011-07-23T13:51:50.324+01:002011-07-23T13:51:50.324+01:00Sounds like an absolutely delightful holiday.

Brit-rail passes, youth hostels and hitchhiking. Early on we were caught off guard by no trains on a Scottish Sunday and tried hitching which resulted in a 24 hour visit to Glencoe, where there was also not much open. Tea at the hotel was for guests only but eventually we looked sufficiently pitiable that we ere allowed in. It didn't take long for 2 19 year olds who hadn't eaten in 12 hours to inhale the contents of the tray. I'm fairly sure that was not the approved manner of doing so. <br /><br />A glass of something substantial saw us through the evening when the pub opened for a few minutes and finally, the next morning (not being able to eat the hay in the sheep shed we had slept in) we gave up on a lift and started walking. Imagine our delight and annoyance when we found a 24 hour diner/truck stop a kilometer down the road. It seems our many requests about a place to get something to eat hadn't specified that we were willing to travel that far.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-78293467128258927522011-07-23T11:21:04.099+01:002011-07-23T11:21:04.099+01:00All I remember from my trip to Bath as a young lad...All I remember from my trip to Bath as a young lad was the postcard my sister bought of "The Man Who Asked for a Scotch in the Grand Pumproom at Bath" http://www.hmbateman.com/scotch_bath.htm<br /><br />Sounds like a lot more fun was had by you and Mrs. Kinch than my 12 yr. old self experienced!Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-19866392359978779122011-07-23T08:43:40.049+01:002011-07-23T08:43:40.049+01:00Sounds excellant - glad you hasd a nice timeSounds excellant - glad you hasd a nice timeMosstrooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744308664219116701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-30616838924364750252011-07-23T07:03:48.315+01:002011-07-23T07:03:48.315+01:00An excellent report Conrad -glad all went well.I l...An excellent report Conrad -glad all went well.I loved the cakestand!<br />best wishes<br />Alantradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.com
