Deaf as....

Hearing is a bit shonky today. Pigged out at breakfast, because I could. Another alarm clock start but thankfully we navigated out of Glasgow. 

We did a walk to the Kelpies, which is two horses heads near a canal system (hopefully the photos can explain)

Then to the Wheel of Falkirk. It's a wheel that lifts a boat from the lower level canal to a higher level (see pictures again). It saves on having to build and operate locks, as well as time - it would have previously taken all day for canal boats to go through all the necessary locks whereas this system takes 5 minutes.

We went from lower to higher and back again. This is almost as good as a good waterfall.

I did get detained by local police for urinating in the canal but was released after pleading stupidity.

We travelled to an old town (Culross),

drove up a narrow road to see a castle that was fenced off and behind a massive tree (Castle Campbell), 

There were also some bad waterfalls.

Then it was off to Stirling for a couple of nights but mainly to use the washing machine as one of us is running out of clothes.

We are high on a hill and have a kitchen so it was time to actually cook something. I decided it was time to run somewhere so did a couple of km's looking for shops. It turns out I went the opposite direction but we did find  Tesco later, got ourselves two nights of meals (including something called vegetables). Cooking? Washing? Getting ready to return to reality.
