Our week in Scotland was ideal. We visited many historical sites including the famous Edinburgh Castle and William Wallace monument, enjoyed an indoor waterpark complete with waterslides and an outdoor pool (brr!), watched movies, read books, and played a lot of board games. We even went on a Highland Safari (kilted chap took us off-roading and hiking)!
The rule for the Safari was one I'd seen before "take only photos, leave only footprints." Good advice, and something we should have been careful to follow the whole trip...
I insisted we stop at Alnwick Castle on the way home (where the Harry Potter movies were filmed) and somehow or other, Matt inadvertently arranged for our camera to be left at the local Sainsburys (grocery store)...
I phrased that well, didn't I?
We didn't realize the mishap until we got home, though. After re-tracing our steps and a few phone calls we were relieved to find out that someone had found our camera and turned it in. Unfortunately - for no good reason at all - Sainsburys won't ship the camera to us (even though we offered to reimburse them for it). Being unwilling to drive the four hours back to Northumberland to reclaim the camera ourselves, we had to arrange for a courier service to deliver it to us later this week... I'm hopeful that it will arrive in one piece with all our photos in tact.
"Take photos, leave footprints" not "take photos, leave camera." Next time we'll have it straight.
This make your trip more exciting & memorable ;-) see u tom.
