Day 16: Heading Home

We got up on our last day in Scotland. We walked a couple blocks down the road to have breakfast at the Rendezvous Cafe. It was a cute little place with old Hollywood photos everywhere and movies playing in the background. It was a very popular spot. We were lucky to get a table right away. The food and service was fantastic. We went back to our room and put the final items in our bags before setting out to the bus station. We made it to the airport without issue and started through security. Of course, one of Ashley's bags was flagged to be searched and both of Katie's bags were flagged. They didn't find anything of interest, and we proceeded on our way after having to repack everything. This time we had a much shorter layover in Amsterdam and had to run/speed walk to our next gate in order to make it on time. The long flight home went by quick due to movies, a lot of food, and a nap.
Some things we learned:
1. Scotland is amazing, and we already want to go back!
2. The Explorer Pass is a must! This is how we went to so many castles and historic sites without shelling out a TON of money in admission fees. We got a 14 day pass since our trip was so long. They are definitely worth it!
3. A hot shower is worth the money. Towards the end of the trip, we stayed at actual caravan sites more and more because a shower every three days wasn't cutting it. For us, nothing could beat a hot shower.
4. It's okay to change plans - and sometimes it ended up being a favorite day.
If you made it all this way on our journey with us, here is a link to ALL 800+ photos and videos from our trip. None have been edited but they should follow along in chronological order in the album. Enjoy & happy traveling!
