Arrival at IJmuiden and back home

Elisabeth slept better this time than on the way to Scotland so she is better rested than on the first day in Scotland. From IJmuiden we drive straight home. No reason to enjoy the landscapes in Holland, we don't like it too much, compared to most other countries. Every time when we return home, we try to see the beauty of our country, but every time we fail to do so. Compared to all the sceneries we have seen on our trips, Holland is a bit disappointing. Sigh, when can we go again...?

This journey has made it very clear to us: we have lost our hearts to Scotland. Though we have to make many other trips, to Scotland we certainly will return!

And that has happened as you can see in the travelogues that we made of our trips the next years. Now we want to go every year for at least a week. On the later travelogues you will find more and better quality pictures and longer stories. Still, we hope that this short account of our first trip to Scotland has made it clear what a beautiful country Scotland is.
