Šotimaa võlu 1

Saabusin eile tagasi puhkuselt Šotimaalt. Põhisihtkohaks oli Edinburgh, kuid sai ka veidi mujal ringi vaadatud. Esimesel päeval oli nii ilus ilm, et otsustasime külastada väikest ookeaniäärset Dunbari linna ning hakata sealt mööda John Muir'i nimelist matkarada North Berrwickisse minema. Plaan oli ilus, kuid paraku näitasid matkaraja viidad ühes kohas valesse suunda. Olime sunnitud kõndima maantee ääres ja tegema väikese ringi, et jõuda vahepealsesse asulasse nimega East Linton. East Lintonis asub Šotimaa kõige vanem vesiveski. Seda ka külastasime. Veski peremees oli väga mõnusa huumoriga ning näitas meile ka seda, kuidas vesiveskit seisma pannakse. Olime seal esimesed eestlastest külastajad. Pärast veski külastust oli kell juba 5 ning kuna olime juba üsna väsinud, otsustasime bussiga Edinburghi tagasi sõita.

Siin mõned hetked sellest matkast:

I arrived from Scotland yesterday. Main destination was Edinburgh but I also visited some other places. On first day of the trip the weather was nice and we decided to go to little town at the ocean called Dunbar. From there we started to walk on hiking track named by John Muir. The destination of our hike was North Berrwick. Everything didn't go exactly as planned. One sign on the track showed the wrong direction and we were forced to go round because of that. In the middle of the track there is a village called East Linton. The oldest watermill in Scotland is located there and that we visited. The owner of the mill was really great and with very good sense of humor. Later he even showed us how to stop watermill. We were the first Estonians to visit this mill. After visit it was already 5 o'clock and we were quite tired. We decided not to continue the hike and took the bus to Edinburgh.

Below are some moments from the hike.
