Full circle

Full circle,we are back in Vancouver, in an airb&b place very central - good spot, very nice apartment, modern with a little outside deck to sit on - and we are minutes from down town Vancouver.   Not that we are too bothered as we are cream crackered - interstate driving - and then city driving all very different from the wide open spaces we have passed through over the last few weeks.  Its that point in the holiday when its time to go home....

The car has gone back - we are unsure as to whether it still housed a mousecedes or not, we haven't had any food or drink in there for a few days but I did discover when I unpacked my emergency pants they had been shredded!!!  BUT they were my emergency pants and I hadn't needed them so they could  have become part of a nest any time over the last weeks...

The car people seemed quite happy with the mess we left the car in having practically lived in it for 60 days - we didn't mention mousecedes but there was a lot of shredded blue stuff, paper and pants lying about!! 

Next I'm going to try and pack sensibly but I fear I will have to abandon the Grey Goose bottle

I thought this picture summed up our rather getting a bit scuzzy lifestyle over the last few weeks, empty 1.75 litre Grey Goose bottle and almost full washing up liquid!!! We have stomachs of iron lined with vodka who needs clean plates!!!

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
