Turns out driving on the other side in Glasgow wasn’t bad. Lots of one way streets and traffic to follow. The smaller towns are where it’s worse with narrow roads and sheep everywhere. It’s hard to judge the width of the car from the opposite side of it

Except in Melbourne, where there’s a bonus final boss:

Hook turns are kinda terrifying...

I know I’ve done one, but I don’t really remember it. Probably blacked out momentarily from fear. I still stop and watch them in amazement if I happen to be walking by.

Didn’t know about this until we drove in Aberdeen. Also that city was just difficult to drive in. We got honked at a few times

Trip to Scotland was top notch. The people there are insanely great. Then we got to Shetland and they took it up another level of niceness. Great food, great sights, great people, great pub stories. I'll post some pics later if anyone is interested. Truly incredible place.

i'm interested. would love to see your pics.

we're hiking scotland in 2 summers before my kid goes off to college. looking forward to it.

also interested. I want to go to Scotland, maybe my next big trip? With good reviews like that, maybe

How was the haggis?

I enjoyed haggis with scrambled eggs as well as in a roll

you're such a baller

Dunnottar Castle was pretty amazing.

Spent my first bit of time ever in the Carolinas (they were pits stops either way on our road trip to Florida) and I have to ask: what’s the deal with South of the Border?

lol. That used to be a popular place in the 80s and 90s. Now it’s just a run down shell. Everyone stops at Buccees now

Having never done a road trip this long, and never having been further south than New York on the East coast in almost 30 years, it was a new discovery that like 80% of road-side advertisements down there are aimed at truckers.
