Well got computer access finally. ( RIGHT AT THE END OF THE TRIP )

Well g'day to all you cyberspace fans out there, who have been waiting with baited breath for the next installment of wombats european vacation. LOL
Well as you are aware of the debacle of the trip over from my first post, everything has gone nice and smoothly ( albeeit the mother-in-law, :0( but thats something else altogether and wont be discussed here )
The trip, well the trip up to Scotland was - well - all i can say is WOW, what a Beautiful place it is, and the people are so friendly LOL ( They LOVE our accent, go figure ) Have heaps of piccys fromm there so will post some at a later date after i get back home, even the one of me in a kilt, and before you ask YES i was a tru scotsman LOL.
Then after 3 weeks up in Bonnie Scotland we then made our way down to Horwich just outside of Manchester for around 12 days in the end ( didnt really want to stay that long - wanted to go back up to Scotland after 5 days ) sites we went to while there was the Lake District - Beautiful area. Blackpool - only for a cuppla hours what a Tacky place that is, and people keep going back for holidays every year, Yuck, its never sunny and blows a gale and is like a mini Vegas but dirty. Clitheroe - Beautiful little village, very much like Edinborough but smaller and a slower pace, we liked it and could find ourselves living there quite easily. Accrington - where Fiona caught up with a rellie that found her on the internet last year sometime. Rain didnt dampen our spirits as we didnt have time to be complaicent so hired a car for 6 days and did some driving around on our own ( well sort of :0( ) That was an experience and was good to, nice narrow roads, people parking the wrong way on the roads and roundabouts with traffic lights on them, ( sort of defeats the purpose of the round a bout now doesnt it ). Carlisle - back up to here and then hang a left and made our way out to have a look at part of Hadrians Wall ( a wall built by the romans to keep out the Barbarians (Scots ) LOL ) then from there back up to fionas other aunties where we stayed at the beginning and called in to pick up the bagpipes,coffee,sanga, then back on the road to Horwich - so left at 9am and got back at 10.30pm that night driving into the worst rain since we got here, it absolutely BUCKETED DOWN.
Bus to London for a look around 3 days prior to going over to Europe. London what can i say - not as nice as Edinborugh the historic sies are good city lights at nice are nice, but everyone is in a big bloody hurry, but saw some good stuff - Tower of London, cruise up the Thames, Churchills cabinet warrooms, and Maddame Tassauds Wax museum - the later 2 you need longern than you think as theyy are huge.
Well got to go now, as someone else here at the hotel wants on the computer, so will write about the European time of the trip after i get back home. And add some piccy's of all the places we visited.
So for know, Bonswar, Gutentag, arivaderci, seeya later cobber. LOL
The wombat waddels off to bed as well as he is Very tired to
