So we got around to camping in the final weeks of the fading summer at kaitoke. Some nice cuzzie action and we fitted 4 adults and 7 kids in our tent. Juni and Archie took turns at waking but the girls were champions! Managed a egg hunt 8km walk in a beautiful day. It didn't get as cold as we thought but windy over night!

Finally got back to gym jam with both kids, Iris took about 10nins to warm up and then she was off! Really interested in balancing along our deck wall and outdoor furniture at the moment and we are getting great use of our front yard with olive getting the hang of bike riding and Iris turning into Rambo on a trike and loving the speed.

Iriee Ann who is on a mission to explore! It took her seconds to get up the slide! I was amazed at her grip, then of course Olive had to do it. Iriee loves standing at the bath on either side which makes us a bit nervous.

We found it odd the Scot's print their own currency. Stirling's Unicorn? We were on the right track! The view out towards the Wallace monument with the snow capped hills behind The walled Stirling Castle I can't find out who this dude is, but he's looking out towards Robert the Bruce and the Wallace Monument in the distance. Cuthbert's grave! Not sure why they would bury a Guinea Pig here. The well manicured graveyard with Stirling Castle in the background. Gini not wanting to get too close to the "Beheading Stone" - the stone they used to use to execute people on. Interesting rows of gray housing. The "Beheading" Stone, out the back of Stirling Castle. The streets of Stirling A cute pub in Stirling "Whistlebinkies" which we didn't venture into. Very impenetrable Stirling Castle Wallace Monument I assume, a statue of Wallace, attached to his monument It was rather breezy up there. The view of the greenery below was fantastic Lost in the wilderness A Medieval Foodbridge on the way to Wallace Monument Our first woolly cow sighting! We like the woolly beasts. And they liked us, too. One of the Lochs near Callander The grave of Rob Roy. Being dicks in the graveyard. Another woolly beast sighting. All the animals were very hairy. Picturesque scenery. The automatic black stallion. Or perhaps pony. The top spot in Collander for dinner - Mhor Fish. Along with some hairy cow beer! Yum yum yum.

Outside Nijô Castle in Kyoto. Amazing and very beautiful. Where can we get one? Making the food fresh Food markets Breakfast in the park with a spot of rain Free rice crackers with tea More free crackers Walk along Kyoto's canal Nijo Castle Nijo's garden Blossom The wall Cut paths everywhere Chinese tourists ready for the show Old looms still used for traditional dress And she is off! The helpful little guys making silk! Wasbi paper, A graphic designers dream house! Warm Sake - not bad at all The friendly sushi chief Salmon tastes real good Our little Japanese room in Kyoto, floor style! The beer
