We have learned a lot and are beginning to book our ongoing adventures after South Africa. We have about four weeks here in Scotland and Great Britain, ten days in Ireland, then off to Tanzania for a two week safari. After that, we are going to settle down for an entire month in Cape Town, South Africa. This will take us to the end of October.
We thought it would be good to update our pathway, and again, put out the word to ask for any advice you might have for places we intend to visit. Also, we'd love some company. Should our pathway inspire your own getaway, let's try to align our calendars.

Aberdeen:
We arrived in Aberdeen, Scotland yesterday. The steering wheel was not installed correctly in our rental car, and the roundabouts swirl in the wrong direction as though watching a drain in the southern hemisphere. Our Airbnb cottage is like one of those baby redwood trees that is growing at the base of a mamma redwood tree. We're surrounded on all sides by stone buildings as though we are in the courtyard of medieval battle fortress. The only real problem with this place...We're near a harbor. Harbors have seagulls. These particular seagulls are the avian version of the Montagues and Capulets waging verbal battles 24 hours a day.
