In the footsteps of History

Lindisfarne Priory - Holy Island, UK (Photo: Norwegianblogger June, 2006)

For the last couple of days I've been walking in the history of England and Scotland. I'm here with family and we're enjoying the sites of these countries. From the windblown island of Lindisfarne / Holy Island to the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh. From the serenity of Lake Leven to the bustle of cities. It's like walking in History. In every direction there are castles and palaces, abbeys and priories. Some in ruins, others are lively places of community, even today. It's only a long weekend, so there's only a couple of more days to go, but it's incredible how much it's possible to experience in 4 / 5 days.

Hei Per
Så du har vært på reisefot igjen. Alltid morsomt å stikke innom bloggen din for å se hvor du har vært i verden den siste tiden :)
Hvis du ikke skal ha ferie snart så sees vi på jobb igjen den 3.juli.

Klem

Det blir kjempekoselig å se deg tilbake på jobb. Du har vært savnet! 3. juli er jeg i ferie og blir borte til andre uka i august, men vi "sees" ihvertfall i bloggerverdenen før det!
