Our trip to Dublin started in Brisbane, as you would expect. Rather than the typical route through Dubai, London or Abu Dhabi, we went via Cairns. On Saturday afternoon we departed Brisbane on Qantas, arriving to a wet and cold(ish) Cairns. Flight time was about 2.5 hours, similar to Brisbane to Melbourne.
Today is our last day on the cruise. I can’t believe that the two weeks has come to an end. It has been a totally relaxing trip and the best I have done.
Our last day in Scotland started out with David cooking a Scottish breakfast. It consisted of link sausage, eggs, lorne, black pudding and haggis. It was quite tasty and a good way to start off the day.
After deciding not to have breakfast at the hotel, we checked out and thought we would find some food along the way. It was a long long time … We made our way to Dunnottar Castle.
We were up quite early (around 5am local time). We packed up what we needed for overnight and I went down to the corner store to get some milk and croissants for breakfast. After throwing stuff into the car, we set off. The end destination was Ballater, how we got there was going to be a mystery. We had maps and guidance, but what fun is that when you can just take random roads instead?
