Day 4 : The Wedding!

By

The day arrived for the main event! The thing that brought us to the UK in the first place! We started the day with a tasty breakfast included with the Hotel. We then went to meet with the rest of the family at the Tavistock market. The ladies wanted to look at some big fancy hats. It kind of just turned into a bunch of family members blocking this poor woman’s hat store, but we got a lot of good visiting in. We wandered around the market for a few hours and grabbed some lunch before we went back to get ready for the wedding.

The wedding was at Brentor Church. It was a tiny little 500 year old church on top of a very tall, very windy hill surrounded by the english countryside. It was kind of unreal. All that driving on the left side of the road was totally worth it. Everyone looked great, and everyone had a good time. At the reception we had biscuits, and brownies, and Pasties (a meat pastry). It was so much fun seeing family, especially on the other side of the world. Unfortunately, we had to turn in early. We had to rest up for our 2 hour drive back to Bristol airport for our flight to Scotland!

Day 9 & 10: Ice Ice Baby

By
Get ready for a two-dayer! Day 9: Like every other blog post before this one, we woke up. The breakfast at Fosshotel wasn't very substantial, and the options were pretty limited. The continental breakfast was a few slices of cheese, meat, and cucumbers. Kaylea had some lackluster pancakes. We had a glacier hike to get to, so we ate as much as we could. After that, we spent a little time working on the blog and getting ready before we made our way out. We put on all of our thermal gear, and a bunch of layers, and hit the road.   We were only about 20 minutes away, but 20 minutes in snow gear in the car gets pretty hot. We pulled up to the meeting spot for our tour, and our guide was just wearing a long sleeve shirt. We got out and asked how cold it's going to be on the glacier, and she said "It's like this. Maybe just bring a light jacket." So we had to take off a bunch of layers in the parking lot. We met some of our fellow tourists, and hopped in a van to head to...

Day 7: Over the Sea to Skye!

By
Wednesday we woke up VERY early only to realize that we had mapped to the wrong Mallaig and only needed 1.5 hours to travel northwest, not 2.5 southeast. We dragged a bit but still hit the road by 9:45.  There weren’t too many stops on the way, but we did pull into the carpark at the Glenfinnan Viaduct. That’s the famous bridge from the Harry Potter movies. You know, the one that Harry takes to Hogwarts. C’mon guys, know your nerd trivia. Anyways, it cost money to park, it was raining, and we had a ferry to catch so we did not hike up to it. It looked neat though.  We made it to the ferry a little early and caught the 12:00 on standby. The harbor crossing looked a lot like the harbor in Husavik. It was a pleasant crossing with nice views, except every time you looked in the center and saw the giant tour bus tilting back and forth, you’d want to throw up. Once back in the car, it was an hour drive up to Portree in the northern part of the Isle. We had some lunch at a small cafe...
