It was the most wonderfuly UN-touristy touristy thing we did the entire time, and was a great highlight of the journey!

The big gun theme just kept on being part of the vacation, didn't it? Some fired, some not so much...

Oh, I have always wanted to see puffins! *envies*

We glimpsed them flying (they work VERY hard at that, flapping madly all the time, while gulls and cormorants and terns glide gracefully all around them--they are the comic relief of seabirds) but were a week or two late for their nesting on the Farne Islands.

You live in a beautiful and wonderful country! We had a fabulous time.

I have been soft about puffins since I was a very small child, I would love to get to see them one day.

Next time you are here, I hope you'll visit the beautiful city I live in :-)

It was truly a fabulous trip. We were so busy that I had no time to update this journal, but I will as soon as I've had a look at some of my photos.
