Our next stop on the list...Scotland.
We arrived via the train from London (at 0540) to Glasgow which was an excellent way to see the country side. From the train we were able to take in the views of the beautiful lakes district which we'll be visiting in a few weeks. We arrived at Jamie's Uncle Roberts and Dolina's where we met our beautiful van. One word....compact!!!!
Today we had a quiet one and had a chance to give the van a good clean and get to know it a little more. The van is yet to be named so will be called Callum (after the previous owner) until we come up with the final name.
Today Drew had his first Scottish strawberry tart...and his face said it all. Reports say that he's been hanging out around the bakery all afternoon.
Uncle Robert took us for a drive after dinner (the sun doesnt go down until after 9.30pm) to Adrossan town and showed us where Jamies grandparents used to live and the old ruin of Adrossan Castle which was just beautiful.
Tomorrow night is our first night in the campervan... We shall report back with results. :)
