We were awake once again at 7.15 this morning, to a beautiful day with barely a cloud in the sky. We could expect an amazing 23°C today, quite extraordinary considering we were in Scotland and it was still only April! 🙂 After getting washed and dressed, we made our way upstairs to the saloon, and…

We’re in Scotland….

It was with excitement and anticipation that I got out of bed at 6.00am to get showered and ready. Yes! Today we were setting off on another cruise… but one with a difference. We were once again travelling up to Oban, in Scotland, to join one of the amazing little Majestic Line vessels, this time…
