Scotland and England Day 13 (27 June 2018)

We started off the day in Oban, Scotland and over 200 miles later, we ended in Haltwhistle, England!  It was an amazingly scenic drive as we meandered through the mountains down towards the rolling hills of Scotland.  



When we entered the Trossachs National Park, we found the Falls of Falloch. What a pleasant little hike from the car park!  It was rejuvenating to take a small hike towards a pleasant waterfall!











We then had the chance to drive next to Loch Lomond. It’s the largest fresh water lake in the British Isles. It is impressive with the sun shining down on it too!



When we were LITERALLY in no man’s land, between Scotland and England, we were stuck in traffic. You know you’re going to be there awhile when people start getting out of their cars to have a smoke break and chat with their fellow drivers. 

At first, we weren’t super excited to be stopped, but then we realized it is an interesting pop up community where everyone is interested in what others have to say. The trucker next to us had driven trucks across North America, and he wanted to talk about how great truck stops are in the US. 😊











However, we finally made it to Haltwhistle!  They claim to be the exact center of the UK!  



We were able to drive around and get oriented for tomorrow. We get to hike Hadrian’s wall!  Country number 4...let’s do this!

    It looks like you were stopped right on the borer between Scotland and England!
    I loved your comment about a "pop-up community."

Day 6 - Thailand (13 March 2020)

Image
Today felt like how I imagined Bangkok would feel. We started out by driving over to the Grand Palace. Alex and I were both wearing long capris, and we weren’t sure if they would let us into the Palace grounds without needing to buy elephant pants to cover up our legs. But we made it in without needing to buy the pants! Our guide said there are usually 10,000 Chinese tourists here a day, but we had very few people around us.   The Grand Palace is beautiful!  They have mosaic tiles covering almost every building, and the buildings seem to sparkle in the sunlight.  Everywhere you look, it’s like all the colors wash over you as you soak it all in. There was a decent amount of sun, but it was beautiful to see!  It is an interesting experience to learn a little about cultural beliefs and norms as you are walking around experiencing the things there are to see. It makes me wonder how different life was when there were not tourists walking around.  I was so impressed w...

Day 5 - Thailand (12 March 2020)

Image
We had another calm morning as we got ready for the day. Here’s the view from our hotel window! After another good breakfast, we met Kris in the lobby for another full day of exploring. Today, we drove about an hour to Ayutthaya. This impressive city has 515 temples!  Some of them are in ruins from when Myanmar burned them, but some of them are quite spectacular! Our first stop was Wat (meaning temple) Yai Chai Mongkol. It means ‘the temple of the boat noodle.’  It was a beautiful temple area with gorgeous flowers, textures, and color everywhere you looked.  However, we needed to use the facilities, so Alex had her first experience of the squatty potty.  It’s authentic!  After we exited the bathroom, we learned that they had western toilets around the corner. Hmm...jerks.  Back to the Wat Yai Chai Mongkol. I really enjoyed this visit. Probably my favorite were the multi colored Bougainville.  I was also impressed with the good condition of the temple a...

Days 1, 2, and 3 - Thailand (March 8 -10, 2020)

First of all, the coronavirus showed it’s face during the last few weeks of planning time of the trip. We weren’t sure what was going to happen, but all felt good about going to Thailand. So, after a handful of flight changes, we finally got everything sorted.  Sunday morning, we finally found ourselves at the airport!  Make sure you plan on 28+ hours of travel time in order to make it all the way from Salt Lake.  The first leg of our trip was in First Class!   The second leg was in Premium Select. Between the two flights, I finally learned how the other half lives. So. Nice!  I forgot to take a picture of the second and third flights. However, Premium Select is worth the cost of the ticket.   There have been a lot less crowds at the internationals airports, with a lot smaller crowds of people. Every flight we took was probably less than half full. So on the Air Nippon Airways flight for Bangkok, I sat in a row by myself, which meant I could lie down and sl...
