Decided to change plans as hostel in Edinburgh was full of Welsh Rugby followers there for a 6 Nations game against Scotland. Kept us up half the night and we didn't fancy another night like that so headed over to Glasgow after touring Edinburgh on a bus with a witty commentary. Where do these people come from? Went to Hollyrood Castle where Liz and whanau stay when in Scotland. No one home at the moment though. Also went to the National Art Gallery which had some impressive works. Youth Hostel in Glasgow is very nice although a wee way away from town centre. Lots of walking being done. Might head out to Loch Lomond tomorrow. No photos at the moment until we can find an internet place to plug in the camera.

Just going to have dinner in the really nice little cafe attached to the hostel and then I think it might be an early night tonight after the lack of sleep last night.  (It was all pretty revolting having to listen to these blokes all night rave on and then to make matters worse I went to the toilet and there were some in the female toilets making a mess - not quite sure just what I said to them but at 4pm in the morning my patience is pretty limited!!) So our first experience of using a backpackers here was pretty eventful.  Never mind - this one is an absolute palace except we have to sleep in separate dorms tonight.

We are enjoying following your travels-pity about those Welshmen. Thanks for the birthday message-didn't turn my phone on until evening but have replied to it! Red car is fine-we take Anna to Wellington this weekend and she hopes to catch up with Rosie-we have lost her cell phone number though!

Hi Lou and Tony, All well in the Bay, school term has begun and for me classes start next week. Enjoying your blog - would be good when we see a few more photos. Lou your car is going very well -and now has petrol in it again since we found out how to get access to the petrol cap - spent a day looking for a "button" or release gadget of somekind inside the car!!!! Perhaps we're all going blond around here! Anyway - hope the feet are holding up - no blisters yet? Theresa
