My primary focus for today’s visit to Edinburgh was a visit to Edinburgh castle. Tickets were sold out on my visit two week’s ago, so I immediately booked a ticket for today so I would not miss out.
The port of Invergordon provides cruise ships with access to the popular Loch Ness area and the nearby city of Inverness, capital of the Scottish Highlands.
A beautiful sunny day provided the perfect chance for a stroll around Lerwick, Scotland’s northernmost town.
After zig zagging our way up the Irish Sea visiting five countries in five days we arrived in Scotland at the port of Greenock. This provided me the chance to visit Glasgow for the first time (a short 30-minute train ride away)
I expected Belfast to be a different place to visit because of its violent past. Central Belfast looked and felt similar to many British cities. Outside in West Belafst it was a different story.
What does Liverpool have that no other city does? The Beatles. I made that the theme for my visit today and it really paid off.
My third visit to Wales, and first to Holyhead. Wales has a harsh exterior, a working man’s country that is rugged with it own distinct charm.
Ireland is an enchanting country and my first visit to the southern part of Ireland did not disappoint as I spent time in Cobh, Cork, and Blarney.
Cornwall has a very distinctive charm that almost makes it feel separate from the rest of England. Falmouth is one of the many cities/towns in Cornwall where it would be so easy to get lost for a day or two enjoying the charm on offer.
Salisbury is a city steeped in history with Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, and the city of Salisbury itself providing a time warp back to an ancient medieval England.
