A sheep and an elephant
Sunday January 6, 2008
We got up the next morning and realized that our trip was halfway over. It was going by too quickly. However, we still had the rest of the day, so we got up and walked over to meet the opentop bus. Our tickets we had bought the day before were good for 24 hours, so we could still catch the first bus. We made it and got to see the half of the tour that we had missed before. We rode it over until we got to the Royal Museum and decided we'd get off and have a look. We actually spent a lot of time there looking at everything. They even had Dolly, the sheep that was the first to be cloned.

After we finished up at the Museum, we decided to wander around on the Royal Mile a bit more and see if we could find anything for lunch. We eventually found a nice pub just in time since we were all famished. Dan got a bit more haggis, but none of the rest of us were brave enough and settled for nice normal things like hamburgers and nachos.

After lunch, we didn't really have a plan, so we just wandered around looking in the shops and exploring. We eventually ended up at the elephant house, which is where JK Rowling wrote most of the first Harry Potter book. We decided to stop here for a quick coffee (mainly to give Tami an opportunity to take pictures)
After that, we headed over to the National Gallery of Scotland. We looked around a little bit and there were some nice paintings and statues, but the most impressive was the statue of the Three Graces, which reminded us of the one at the Louvre. After the National Gallery, it was time to start looking for the bus back to the airport.

We left Friday evening after work to fly to Edinburgh for a quick weekend trip. This trip was a little different since wee went with Dan and Rebecca, our relatives from New Zealand. We stayed in a little apartment close to downtown which was really nice and spacious, especially for the cheap price that we got it for! We didn't do much Friday night since we got in rather late and didn't want to be too tired.
Dan and Greg hanging with the natives:
We got up on Saturday morning and had breakfast in the apartment (which was provided!) and caught the Open Top Tour bus to go around town. We stayed on the bus until we got to the Royal Mile. We walked up the Royal Mile towards Edinburgh Castle until we got to the Whiskey Experience. We did the tour, which started out good (a whiskey tasting and you keep the glass), but the rest was just so so. They covered how Whiskey was made, but we already knew most of it from touring the distillery when we were in Scotland before. At the end, we went to the bar and Dan and I tried another whiskey. Also, Tami got me a really cool birthday gift.... a bottle of whiskey that was distilled the year I was born... 1975.
Tami and Greg in front of Edinburgh Castle:
After we left the Whiskey Experience, we headed up the Royal Mile until we got to Edinburgh Castle. When we got in, the first thing we did was to head to the cafe and have lunch. The food was good, though overpriced and the One o'clock gun went off while we were there (they fire a cannon at 1:00 everyday which used to be used by locals to set their clocks.) We walked around more and some of the highlights were Mons Meg... a huge cannon, a pet cemetary and the prison vaults. All of the architecture was amazing to see, but that was true of the whole city.
The pet cemetary at the Castle:
Tami at the Castle:
We were cold and tired by the time we finished, so we hopped back on the Open Top bus and rode around the city.... although we stayed downstairs where it was nice and warm. It ended when we got to the center of town, so we walked around a bit admiring the city and eventually made our way to a pub called Dirty Dicks where we got a beer (and the girls had tea.) We sat there for awhile and plotted what we were going to do for supper. We eventually decided on a place that was BYOW (Bring Your Own Wine), so we pick up some wine and headed over there. We were adventurous since we were in Scotland and tried haggis. I won't say what is in haggis here, but you can find out if you follow this link. It wasn't as bad as we were expecting, but we were glad we got a small order and split it between the four of us.
Tami and Rebecca:
Afterwards, we made the long walk back to our hotel and stopped off at a pub on the way back. It was fairly late by the time we were done, so we didn't stay up too long. Although, we did get to see a little bit of the Seattle Seahawks game.

Day for a parade
January 1, 2008
Greg and I woke up and decided that we didn't want to sit around all day, we would rather go to the New Years Day Parade that London hosts every year. We found a spot near Trafalgar Square, right near one of the performing posts, so that was good. We were about half way through the parade route so it only took about 30 minutes for the parade to reach us once it started, however, we did get there about an hour early so we had a a little waiting to do, no big deal.
This is the same parade the Greg and Jenny marched in when they were in high school, so it was good for Greg to see it from a different perspective. We enjoyed watching all of the bands, dance groups, floats, and the motorcycles (both Harley and Honda owners had groups in the parade). The one thing I will say is that we had an awesome band director. Mr. Brasco would never have let us march with music attached to our instruments or arms, and the lines on most of those bands was horrendous. The largest band only had 192 members, maybe half the size of the bands that we were used to marching in.
Band from Hawaii:
A very funny Scottish band (the played the bagpipes and such but it was an all Indian band):
One of the Harley's from the Surrey Harley Club (he even has an American flag):
One of my favorite groups was the dance group from Dallas, TX called the Wranglers, they did line dancing but they were very energetic. With about 10 floats left for us to see it began to rain, not a hard rain, just a slow steady rain, more annoying than anything. We stayed and watched the end of the parade and then decided to go to lunch.
The Wranglers dance group:
Another great group, they were the Chinese dragons:
There was a restaurant about a block away that we had wanted to try so we went there, the Texas Embassy Cantina, where we enjoyed fajitas and enchiladas. While it isn't the best Mexican food it was still pretty good.
We started heading back to our flat, stopped in at a few shops. and made it home a little after 6:00 pm to settle in and watch a movie.

Ringing in 2008!
December 31, 2007 into January 1, 2008
Although not quite what we had planned we had an awesome time!
Dan and Rebecca came over after work and we sat around and enjoyed some cheese, crackers, beer, and champagne before heading off to dinner. We had reservations at 8:00 pm at Jamon Jamon in Camden Town. We got there right around 8 and had some Sangria with our Spanish tapas, all of the food was excellent, with the exception of the first batch of croquettes that we got. We ordered Blue Cheese croquettes and instead they brought us Salmon croquettes, not quite the same. Oh well, we got the cheese ones and all was right again. The restaurant was very busy and they basically ended up ushering us out of the restaurant at 9:00 pm so they could refill the table, we figured we would be there hanging out until at least 10 but no luck.
Greg and I at Jamon Jamon:
We were going to go to Primrose Hill to see the fireworks but we really did not want to go there for 3 hours, so instead we went across the street to the "Spread Eagle" (a local pub) to hang out.
The 4 of us at the Spread Eagle:
Greg and I had eaten Sunday roast there the day before and saw that they were having a drag show, sounded like fun. So, we went in, grabbed a table, some champagne and beer and enjoyed the music. We then went into the main room, where the drag show was going on, and danced, laughed, talked, drank, and all until after 11:00 pm. About that time we noticed it was raining outside and at this point knew we were not going to Primrose Hill.
Dan and Greg, such posers:
Around 11:30 we left the pub to head back to our flat, we knew we would be able to see fireworks from there, even if they weren't the big ones at the London Eye.
Rebecca and I at the bus stop waiting for the bus (as you can see we are wet):
We got back with about 10 minutes to spare, opened another bottle of champagne and enjoyed the fireworks and setting off party poppers.
Rebecca and I setting off party poppers:
Happy New Year!

Not a way to end a vacation
Saturday, December 22, 2007
Today was supposed to be a nice, easy return home. It turned out to be anything but that. We woke at 5 am because our bus was to pick us up at 7:00 am. The bus did not arrive until 7:30 am. There were roughly 100 people on our double decker bus, and all of us were on the same flight back to London, which was good. We sat upstairs so we could enjoy the scenery, which was a bad choice, as it was boiling hot and only hot air was blowing out of the vents. It was roughly 15 degrees outside and I was wearing a tank top and still sweating on the bus, to give you a clue.
About an hour into our journey (total 3 hour journey to the airport) the boy right in front of me got sick, and it smelled so bad, I thought I was going to get sick as well. The heat just permeated the smell as well. So, the bus stopped for about 10 minutes so he could change clothes. While stopped the people on the top deck opened up the emergency hatches, we had been repeatedly telling the driver that it was too hot but he still had not done anything so we were all just trying to get any relief that we could. Of course he came up to the top of the bus, and shut them, telling us we could not have them open. Once back on the road, some people opened them back up anyways, we really needed the cool air at this point.
On the way to Saas Fee a week earlier, we made no pit stops in our 3 hour journey, today, when we are running an hour late, the driver decides to stop for 20+ minutes for a break. So, it was now 10:00 am (our check in time for our flight), and we are just getting back on the road, and we still have an hour plus journey left to the Geneva airport. We finally arrived around 11:00 am the airport, our flight is in 1 hour and it is international, not good. The driver dropped all 100 of us off (again about 1/3 of the plane on this bus) and we proceeded to go inside and check in. We could not find our check in terminal, AT ALL!!! Nobody at the airport could help us either. Finally, our tour guide came and found us, we were at the wrong terminal.
We walk to the correct terminal (about a 10 min walk), in which time we see the bus driver parking the bus in from of this terminal, we were not happy campers. We all trudged in to the check in desk, and our flight was CLOSED! Now, since it was a package deal we knew that they were not going to abandon 1/3 of their plane. We waited for them to open up the flight again and began the check in process. So, the Geneva airport has the worst layout I have ever seen. We had to take a shuttle from the check in area, over to the actual gate terminal, where we had to go through security and 2 passport checks. Finally, we had to then wait for a second shuttle that would actually take us to the plane. Our 12:00 departure was now pushed back to 12:45 at which time the captain came on and announced that we were going to have to wait another 40 minutes before we could take off. Greg and I were not even sitting together, so we really were not happy. I had a bratty kid sitting next to me the entire way, he kept staring at me, kicking me, putting his coloring book in my lap, and on and on.
Finally we had taken off, for our 1 hr flight to London, but it was well past lunch time and we didn't have much for breakfast so we were getting a little hungry. Once we took off the captain then announced that their food provider did not show up and therefore the crew had to scrounge around for food from other planes, and they were 40 short, so they needed volunteers to not eat. Greg and I were not willing to miss our lunch, since everything else had gone wrong, but there were enough volunteers and we did get to eat. Whew!
Oh well, all in all it was a GREAT trip that I would take again. We did finally make it home, and our dog sitter had already dropped the dogs off at our flat, so that made things even better for us, to see their wagging tails and all when we walked in.
Saas Fee is a "carless" town and all of the vehicles are small electrical cars:
We slept on Austrian double beds, which is just 2 singles pushed together, not very good:
My knees were completely black and swollen by the end of the week:

Back in the swing of things
Friday, December 21, 2007
Today started out as every other day during our trip to Saas Fee, woke up and had breakfast at the hotel before heading out to the slopes for snowboarding school. I (Tami) actually went back to class and stayed all day. I was very proud of myself for going back after my melt down.
Our instructor, Toast, took videos of us so we could see how our turns looked, we all got to watch each others, which was fun. I finally was able to make it up the ski lift, only fell off once the entire time, even though I still was not going to the top, and only about 1/3 of the way up. Greg on the other hand, was going up to the top and coming all the way down, he was doing great. At the end of class Toast gave each of us a snowboarding class book and marked our progress, Greg got an Excellent!!!, Tami got a Needs Work (duh!).
Greg and Toast at the end of class:
Toast's Snowboard (my two favorite colors):
After class we returned our snowboarding equipment and went to lunch at Zur Muhle (Moulin - a recommendation from Toast) and enjoyed clear broth soup, fondue, and the best Coke we have ever had. We knew we had an early bus to leave in the morning so we stopped in at a bakery (Beck) and picked up some pastries for breakfast. We then rode the sky bucket up Hannig again from some hot chocolate/beer, a banana crepe, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hannig mountain.
One of the views of Hannig Mountain:
We had to return our ski lift tickets, so Greg did that while I began to pack, we had some free time before dinner and didn't want to stress about it later in the evening.
When Greg got back it was time for the hot tub, we sure will miss this. Then we got ready and headed to dinner early, we had plans for that evening. Once dinner was over we headed out for our Husky sled ride. We had 4 huskies pulling us: Shay, Duke (the only Alaskan husky), Arco, and Tina. All the dogs were so cute and we had a great time. The ride was short, since Saas Fee is so small, but it was still worth it. Greg even got to drive a little bit, though the dogs weren't nearly as responsive to him as they are to the regular guide.
Tami with the huskies:
Greg driving the dog sled:
Once done with the husky ride, we made our final trek back to the hotel. When we got to our room we enjoyed a bottle of wine before going to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
