May 9th - Girvan Scotland

CULZEAN CASTLE & COUNTRY PARK Girvan, Scotland

Culzean Castle was constructed by order of the 10th Earl of Cassilis. The Castle was built between 1777 and 1792.

Enjoy a guided tour inside the castle and free time to explore the various self-guided walking trails, walled gardens, visitor centre, swan pond and cafes.

Yes we went to a castle and saw stuff but more importantly Janice you will know our joy.  We won trivia against a team with 9 people, a cruise no-no.  We had 3 Canadians on our team so a ringer of a team.  Plus a couple that have done over 50 cruises.  We crushed the other team.  Bob even spilled his beer celebrating.   Off to dinner so will do the rest later.

Okay back from dinner, were first ones seated so got table by the window but sadly no dolphin sightings but sat beside a lovely couple from London so nice night.

Okay back to castle… won’t bore you with new pics of flowers and trees, Bob says this year’s focus for me is trees…he might be right.

Opps   Off to bed as we have a 7am leaving time to see the Giant causeway.  Love to you all.

Tuesday April 30th - Leave for London

Image
  Limo pick us up at noon and we head to YYZ Bags were packed early and we got picked up early by our Blacklane driver.  Quick trip to YYZ.  No lines at all at check in or security so safely in the lounge awaiting our flight.and  Bob found the sweet cart and the bar so we are good. We might even squeeze in a glass of bubbly.  Flights on American Airlines Leaving from Toronto to Charlotte North Carolina at 4:15 pm. This flight was delayed to 5:10 so we did not have much time to make our flight connection in Charlotte, luckily we were at front of the plane and the next gate was only about 15 minutes away.   Luckily had been checked through so Bob was able to have a quick Beer and sing O Canada before the Leaf game started, we have not watched it yet but know they won, all due to the singing in the bar. Flight to London Heathrow was good, lots of room up front.    Had a few bevies and dinner and then a nap.  It was quite bumpy so not much sleep....

May 11th - Tobermory and Duart

Image
  ·          Morning ·          Tobermory,  Scotland, United Kingdom     Due to something about crazy water conditions we had our port changed to Tobermory, which was wonderful.  We did a wonderful hike for about 2 1/2 hours along the coast and then up to the top of the cliff.   Then into town for a quick look around and Bob got a pint, it was only 11 am so too early for me so had a pink lemonade. Bob did buy a tshirt to wear when he goes diving in the Canadian Tobermory.  It was hot almost mid70’s so one man in our group hiked without his shirt on, no pics of this as not something you want to see.      We then had a light lunch on our balcony as we cruise to our next stop for the day the castle listed below. Afternoon ·          DUART CASTLE ·          Duart, Isle of Mull, Hebrid...
