It is with very mixed emotions that Rita and I leave Edinburgh for Kassel as our experiences in Britain have really impressed us. We are very much looking forward to seeing Rita’s parents but it means the adventure through Great Britain is over. England and Scotland have definitely exceeded expectations. We knew there would be a lot of history to see and we were not disappointed. Windsor, Cambridge, Bath, Blenheim Palace, York and Edinburgh were all historic gems. But for such a small Island (you can put 4.5 Great Britain's into BC) with a population of 60 million (BC would need to have a population of 250 million to match its density) we were amazed at the amount of unspoilt terrain and scenery we experienced. The majestic white cliffs of Beachy Head; quaint, hidden harbours in Cornwall; fairy-tale villages in the Cotswolds; nature’s lush, green playground in The Lake District along with the rugged, isolated and moody countryside of Scotland all managed to inspire and amaze us. There was also so much more we wanted to see and do, including spending more than an afternoon in Wales and touring Ireland, that we will definitely return to the wonderfully diverse British Isles.
