WORLD TATTOO TRAVELER (Bill Passman)

SCOTLAND, Edinburgh (EDINBURGH CASTLE)

September 26, 2012

Weather much nicer this morning, no rain. Signed up for a trip to the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness for tomorrow. I will leave on a bus with tour guide at 8 am and return 8 pm. Will cover a lot of Scotland. Afterwards, I walked to Colten Hill to get a better view of the city, then went to Princess Gardens, and Edinburgh Castle ($25 ouch). Sunshine most of day and the castle was impressive.

Tlhe 1 o'clock gun. It goes off everyday at 1 pm. Did not know that and was only about 25 yards away when it went off. Scared me , thought there was an accdent or something.

Night picture of castle. Took picture from book.

IRELAND, Dublin

September 25, 2012

Decided to walk around and take some pictures on my last "real" day in Dublin. (will fly back in on 29th but spend the night in airport before flying to Venice) Took pictures around Dublin City Centre especially the Liffey River, Trinity College, Grafton Street, St. Stephens Green and Dublin Castle. Did not go in to see the Book of Kells today as I have seen it before and it is amazing but also 9 euro ($11.25) But suggest that anyone who has opportunity to see it, see it. Google it and see the amazing pictures and history.
