WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Scotland is easy


 

      We find that Scotland is easy to travel around and very welcoming. We have done a variety of stays and visits. In South Scotland along the borders, we suggest taking the train to Carlisle,  England and then renting a car to cover this area. Places like Dumfries, Kirkcudbright, Newton Stewart, The Isle of Whithorn, and the rest of Galloway.  Take the train to Edinburgh and no need for a car; it is a liability. Train to Glasgow and then to Stirling and rent a car in Stirling to loop the Highlands.  The motorways are modern and the other roads are well paved although sometimes narrow.  For us, all roads lead to Fort Augustus and Ballater and St. Andrews.
     If in the north, make sure you go out on the research boat on Loch Ness.
