Scotland Yet again....

The long weekend of the 27th was yet another interesting occasion. decided to go to scotland.. not sure why.

couple of reasons mainly... sangee was back from her engagement.. so thought will meet her.. also sanju was also in uk and was planning to meet sangee in scotland..

all in all - a meeting with my in-law relatives. to add some friendship, shagun also joined in.. shagun is my colleague.. she is from the offshore team.. she was in UK for a month from august start.

it was very good fun.. day one was marked for edinburgh.. sanju & his friends from work and shagun visited the castle and the palace.. while sangee and myself decided to take a cruise.. we travelled half hour only to reach the destinatoin and find there was no cruise for just that day!! what a timing.

however we did walk around the beach a bit and it was really a nice time!

the later part of the evening was dominated by one question - who will sleep where?

it was an interesting group discussion between four characters with four different perspectives and at the end of it all - left some distaste in my mind!

nevertheless we went on and all took refuge in sangee's place.

next day was loch day.. we took a day tour around sterling castle and the loch.. personally sterling castle was more fascinating than edinburgh castle. We didnt go to the 'Braveheart' William Wallace monument. The evening was loch time.. and we all went on a cruise for 40 min. That was really so cool. I enjoyed every bit of it.

Sangee suprisingly dropped out at the last minute for the cruise and spend some pleasant time all alone.

Sanju was having a great time seeing all these places.. and yeah in the bus he was sleeping with the head set on... that made for some funny moments as he was sleeping with a serious face :)))

we also played dumb charades and it was quite funny with some stupid hindi movie names being told like ' switch ka bulb tv ka remote ' - i dont remember the actual movie name - but that was a bakwaas one anyway!!

next day sanju left in the morning for bournemouth and then shagun and myself went around glasgow.. sangee - poor one - had to go for work.

the cathedral in glasgow was really mind-blowing.. its interiors told a very grim story and somehow had a very scary effect to it.

the journey ended on a good note as we cooked some food and had a very good dinner that night.

this is probably going to be my last trip to scotland for a while - i think - you never know !!!
