Last post from the UK - for this time.

The last day in Scotland before we will leave for the kingdom of Denmark, and again the sun came out and made our last day in Edinburgh a very pleasant one. And on a day like this with a perfect blue sky, what could be better than climb Arthur's seat and enjoy the stunning view over the Scotsmens capital. Catriona shows the way up on the rock called "Arthur's seat". We wanted to save some time and climbed the rock by one of the more unofficial paths. We didn't save any time nor power as we had to run all the way around the rock anyway to get to the top. If you want to visit Edinburgh and climb Arthur's seat, then the best way to do it is from the Her majesty the Queens scottish residence; The Holyrood Palace at the bottom of the royal mile.From up there you have the perfect view over Edinburgh, so if you go you should bring things for a little picnic because you can spend some hours up there.

3 weeks ago, we landed in London. Tomorrow the 22nd of july we fly to Denmark for the last 10 days of our holiday, so next time something happens here it might be from there. It is quite scary how time just seems to fly away when you don't want it too. It has been a nice time in Scotland, so here are some flash backs and a big thank you to the people who opened their houses for us and shared this time with us.With auntie Connie at the start of our tour de London at Liverpool Street station.The shore in the little hamlet of Orford just north of Ipswichwhere Reece had his first free run over the soft green grass of a meadow.The town of Southweld at the north sea cost in east Anglia.

Our home for a week with the Innes family at the north west coast of Scotland; Plockton, and it's famours telephone box.
Amy on the special seal and dolphin watch trip with Calums seal trip boat from Plockton.Building a new sand city at Crainlarich beach with Amy, while her daddy --Bryan took care of the food supply.The Morrison sisters at Elian Donan castle taking little "Ivanhoe" for some fresh highland air.
The lots and lots of nice bars in Ediburgh and it's calm and friendly atmosphere,and amazing old city and castle.In october Mum Hazel and Ricky will come to visit us in Hong Kong. We are looking forward to that and they can be quite sure it will be a lot warmer there than in Scotland in the summer.

But once again thanks to the Morrison family; Alex, Connie and Reece in Ipswich. The Innes family; Bryan, Hazel Ann, Amy and little Irving in Aberdeen and to Mum Hazel and Ricky in Edinburgh.
