Last days of the tour

Sadly, our tour of the Scottish Highlands had to come to an end. But before it did, Sam and I made some friends with the locals, as pictured below.






We also visited monuments to some of Scotland’s freedom fighters. Below is the Bruce Chapel where one of Robert the Bruce’s bones is held in the chamber below his sleeping figure.





And the William Wallace monument atop the hill where he fought against the British and won.



The whole tour was really good value – over five days we saw so much of the Highlands, of the history, and of the absolutely gorgeous landscape. We had a great tour group too, and on the last night of the tour we decided to do a big cook up in the hostel in Oban for all 14 of us. Sam and I decided to treat the group to the Aussie delicacy ‘Beer Chicken’ which is basically chicken roasted with an open can of beer up its rear end. The beer evaporates and keeps the chicken moist while it is roasting, and leaving it very tasty at the end.



Slainte!
