Everything is up hills and uneven pavement... especially the castle.

6.50 is a steal! I love how they have Strongbow on tap everywhere... I was never really a big cider fan, but I'm addicted to Strongbow now.

First class spoils you! The departure tax is pretty high, I want to say 90 pounds for first class?? Still is a lot cheaper than paying for a ticket, though.

Can't wait to see your pictures!
I need to add pics tonight when I get home from work. Nick is off again (although I can't remember where he's going!).

You're going to love our pics- there is one of Nick pointing at the "Do not sit on Mons Meg"! We wanted to sit on it too.

He and I had a Strongbow- it was ICE cold and delicious!

By the way, going home I listed in coach but there were plenty of seats so the gate agent gave me Business First! It saved us on an even higher departure tax!

I also got to take a few pics in the cockpit before we left. We were lucky, the Cpt was very nice and didn't mind snapping a few pics for us! I'm using it in my new sig!
