Scotland & England, Day 5 & 6
本帖最后由 ceciliachiu 于 2012-9-23 13:30 编辑After the Donnottar Castle, we spent a night in Aberdeen and stayed in a downtown hotel. Like any big cities, the downtown could be unsafe at night. We saw drunks and hooligans on our way to find a restaurant for dinner nearby. Thus, we did not spent time hanging out that evening and returned to our hotel right after dinner.

After some sightseeing, we went to meet my friend at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden where she was having a foundry session casting some sculptures (P.S. the guy in this photo is not my friend)

The Hermitage is a picturesque nature area in Perthshire, Scotland.There is a small parking area at the entrance of the path into the area but no sign saying parking ticket required. We bought some drinks at the kiosk in the carpark. When I turned around, I found a suspicious brown coloured pole in a very inconspicuous location. Suspecting that could be a ticket machine, I approached and found out that it is! Of course, we bought our tickets. Another tourist trap.
