So we said farewell to our awesome little appartment in Paris. It was on the 5th floor with a narrow stairwell and no elevator! But it was comfortable and right in the middle of everything you could want to see.
Much of our holiday was planned around my wife's family and my son's love of soccer. But the next four days were basically for me! We wsent to Scotland so I could drink whisky.
Another thing that Scotland is good at is comedy! So we went to see some local stand-up in Glasgow.
MacSorleys pub has appeared in books and comics many times. And there it was!
Glasgow Cathedral with the Tomb of St Mungo downstairs.
This is an Indian place called Mowgli's, which was brilliant!
I went to the only distillery in Glasgow, the Clydeside.
Colourful streets of Edinhurgh!
The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh is pretty amazing too. This is barley grain bursting with sunshine!
And the second largest collection of unopened Scotch in the world.
More comedy, this time in Edinburgh, with Rosco McClelland who was very good.
Climbing up to Arthurs Seat outside the city.
Madness live at Edinburgh Castle!
Finally we stopped at Thailand on the way home. I went and saw some kickboxing. There's live traditional music played to match the tempo of the fight!
This is the train market - a few times a day they fold away the awnings so a train come come by about a foot from your nose.
Our guide Pramote showing us the coconut flowers where they extract the nectar.
My wife and son in Chinatown in Bangkok, because every city has a Chinatown!
