We went to the dinning room fo breakfast, and that was not good. They had Spanish omelette on the minue so we tried it, not good, I think they use egg beaters, not fresh eggs, but it was some food. We forget, that on this small ship, we don't have to build in as much time to get from one place to another. So once again we were way too early for our tour. We could have slept another hour!
Glamis Castle, what a beautiful place. It was about a 45 minute drive from the port, through green pastures and rolling hills. Looked a lot like Virginia, in the hills. The castle itself sets on a huge estate. This is the castle harkens back to 1372 when Robert the Bruce awarded the land to the Bowes-Lyons ancestors of Bitain's Queen Mother. And, other residents, included Mary Queen of Scots, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and her daughter Princess Margaret. They said we might see a ghost, seems there have been many sightings, but alas we did not. It was a really nice tour, and we had plenty of time to walk around outside, and see the small museum that held the coronation robes of Queen Elisabeth. And of coarse visit the gift shop.
On the way back to Dundee, we went accross the Tay, to tack a picture back of our ship in the harbor, then they drove to the city center, and let those who wanted to get out and shop, we thought about it, but decided not to, as it looked like the rain that had stayed away was coming. And sure enough as we boarded the ship, it came with a vengeance.
The port here, is not a cruise port, so the gangway, was VERY steep, and in the rain was a chalange, for us and later to get a wheelchair up, not fun.
We saw a wonderful show after dinner called Moto City, the 5 dancers on this ship are incredabul, there energy and ability is every bit as good as anything we have ever seen, and the fact they are so close, you really see it all. Sea day tomorrow so we could have a late night.
