You'll always know where you are if you see this building.

Squirrels!

Someone in the hostel told me they had fed some squirrels in a park. Squirrels!!?? I thought - got the directions & details and took off straight away. Walked some 20 minutes in the rain to get to this park and see my first squirrel.

Nobody told me they were everywhere here, did they?

Wow! I met one!

Yeah yeah, so everyone's done this? Well I felt pretty special anyway.

These photo's just don't do it justice, as the camera battery flat and I only got 3 pic. Let me just say lots and lots of fun! You don't need to know anything before hand - they run you through the songs for you before you start. If you get confused, just look for the nearest guy wearing a kilt!

Quite pretty over this way. Apparently the queen hangs out here once a year or something.

Shame I had lost my wallet at the Caleigh, and couldn't afford to go in.

Nice backdrop
 
How many places in the world are there where can you look out at this from the main street of town?

Vertical panoramic??
 
Doah! Bendy buildings! I've since found a way of un-bending them (but I deleted the original photos that need to be 'stiched' together)

Actually a digital photo of a real photo I took so that Pippi could send it to Tharin (in picture on left). (Far too funny to throw away ;-)
