Saturday 31st May. Back in Laramie, Wyoming.

 Not much to report today and no pictures. I was picked up at 8am by my taxi and driven to the Glacier Airport  in Kalispell.  Lovely  driver and we chatted all the way.  Arrived in plenty of time, just the way I like it and I used the machine and got my 2 boarding passes. How clever was that. Arrived in Denver where my gate changed 3 times, so again I had a nice walk around. Got something to eat and eventually our plane was called.  We arrived a bit late but my shuttle was waiting for me and drove me back to my hotel again. I then tried to make sense of my bill from last time as numerous  amounts had been taken out. They couldn't  work it out either but I think I've  got it worked out now and only one charge is out of order. Hopefully  I can sort it tomorrow. 

I walked over to McCallisters for some soup and salad, delicious. Now back in my room and ready for bed. Travelling is tiring but all good. Funny being back here without all my COST mates. Might get to catch up with the Laramie lot tomorrow.  Nice to have my case back and wear some different  clothes!!!

    I didn't realise that I'd caught up. Spent all day downloading photos from our trip. Now I am editing and deleting to put them into files. That should take a week at least. Lack of internet meant I couldn't transfer them onto the computer till I got home. But working my way through the 4,000. Enjoy the next stage of your holiday.

    Glad to see that there were no adventures on your travel day. That’s when you want everything to go boringly smoothly.

Saturday/Sunday, 17th and !8th May 2025

 Saturday was a very long day, that really bled into Sunday as I travelled through numerous  time zones.  I left Melbourne  on Saturday at midday and flew to Auckland.  Change of planes to LA. Business class again was delightful but Air NZ doesn't seem to have a big choice of movie, not a huge problem when you can lie down etc!! Once we headed to LA, I'd  eaten enough so had my bed made up and went to sleep. Woke for a delicious  breakfast and then into LA. Collected my luggage after 2 hours waiting in lines for security.  Quickly through and handed  case in for Denver.  Then the route march to terminal 7. 45 mins later I arrived in a lather and thru security again for my flight. Ticket wouldn't register so an anxious wait while they fixed it. Finally into Denver but no luggage. Had to wait another hour for it to arrive and then find the shuttle bus to take me to my accommodation.  Finally fell into bed at 10pm!!! Up for early shutt...

Sunday 8th June 2025. Edinburgh and now Oban, Scotland.

Image
 Arrived bright and early into Edinburgh and it felt like we were in a big warehouse. Certainly not flash, but so easy to get into Scotland,  took no time at all. Put my case into storage and took a bus into town. Bus driver was great and told me about the tourist spots. I walked around in the sun and checked out the castle and all the other monuments.  I even went to church and listened to the choir. Got back on the bus back to the airport and headed over to the Hampton hotel where I was getting picked up. Michael  had texted me to confirm pick up so all good.  Picked up with others and 3 hours later we arrived in Oban. Beautiful scenery.  The boat , the Flying Dutchman,  is much more rustic than all my other trips but food is great and again very well organised and of course this time I have my mate Marion from Melbourne and we've already paled up with Cathryn from Canada. We're drinking gin and tonics b4 we head back to the boat.  40 kms tomorr...

Tuesday 10th June, 2025. Crinan to Jura.

Image
 Boy I slept well after a big day. I was sooo cold and wet but recovered well after a hot shower and into dry clothes. Everything  was sopping and it was hard to find where to dry everything.  Fortunately today was sunny!! So we hung our clothes outside on the boat. They sailed after our bike ride. We did 27kms along the  Crinan canal and even watched a boat go in and out the locks. Ahh it took me back. A beautiful bike ride today. No hills and the sun was glorious.   We had lunch at Kilmartin and I had soup again. And an amazing hot chocolate.  We then did a few burial sites and some stones( much smaller than Stonehenge) We rode back to Crinan and off we sailed to Jura. Lovely smooth sailing and we played Phase 10. We sat outside to eat our delicious dinner( the food is wonderful on the boat) Unfortunately the midges came in so inside. We're  now over at the pub to check out our grog of choice!!! Beautiful  sunny weather predicted for tomorr...
