Love me some castles...! Good your wife humors you...  :D

Mike Demana

I love just about any pile of old stones.
On our last day in Cyprus, we had handed back the hire car & decided to walk down to Pathos harbour.
I saw a sign I hadn't noticed before & asked my wife if I could go & look?
"You saw those on day ONE" she said.
"No" I replied, " Those were GREEK ruins, these are Byzantine ruins"
She said I could clamber over them & she found a shady spot, sat down & read more of her book. Lovely woman. :) :-*

Thanks Syrinx0.  I'll try not to bore everyone, but more pictures of the holiday to come. ;)

We spent a day with the Jacobite train. Those who have seen the Harry Potter films will recognise it. :)
The Glenfinnan viaduct crossing was spectacular. The photo does NOT do it justice. :D
The photos might be of use for any VBCW gamers.

Nice.  He looks like the guy responsible for summoning the previously completed demon.

I wouldn't want to meet either in a dark ally. :(

The 'Harry Potter' viaduct from ground level.







And just the other side of the road is where Bonnie Prince Charlie landed in Scotland to start the 45.







Well it would have been rude to not go & have a closer look.  :D

Stunning scenery Pete - gives me itchy feet to go and have a look - whether I ever get round to it is another matter.

There is a lot to love. For example, it produced my lovely wife.  :)

You must go.  The pictures do not do the scenery justice.
