Trip to Scotland

We arrived back in Maastricht at about 8:00 on Tuesday night, just in time to do some laundry, pack, and head out again early the next morning. When we woke up in the morning, we discovered that Erik had lost his hat. I guess we left it on our last train. He was pretty sad. I guess he'll be needing a new one soon. After we gave up looking for it, we took a few buses and trains as we made our way to Brussels Charleroi airport on our way to Scotland! All of our travel plans worked out perfectly, and we arrived at the Perth train station to meet Aunt Susan just a few minutes behind time.


It was so great to see Aunt Susan again. It had really been awhile. Erik thought it was really great that she introduced herself this way: "Hi, Erik, I'm your Aunt Susan." By the time we left, he was wanting to pack up both her and the dogs and bring them home with us.

Aunt Susan took us to the Bridge of Cally Hotel for dinner. Erik was especially keen to try haggis and really liked it. He ordered it again at some point during our trip.

Attack Hounds: Sam and Skye

Erik was really tired and not feeling too well after our long days of travel, so he headed for bed soon after we returned from the restaurant. Aunt Susan and I stayed up for a while to talk, but then we turned in since we'd have an early start the next day.
