2009 Pitlochry

Day 1 Wednesday 15th April Left house to go to South Queensferry Tesco for breakfast. Then up to Noah's Ark for a two hour play session.  On the way out of Perth we noticed the sign for Activity Kids so went there where entry was £6. The site was basically a lot of toys in a farmers field where kids paid £6 to play with. After 1 hour they had had enough. Onwards to Pitlochry where the bike rack snapped, we did the shopping then went down to the arcade on our bikes. The boys made tea. Spicy pasta scrapped off the bottom of a pot. A game of monopoly a magic trick then off to bed.

Day 2 Thursday 16th April

Usual Pitlochry Scottish breakfast, then off to Aberfeldy to do the Football and Frisbee session. No-one else turned up so the three of us got the run of the all weather pitch. Went down to town for an icecream then off to Pitlochry to go fishing. Popped into Youth Hostel on way there to see the Pitlochry open day and met the SYHA marketing manager. Guy at Lock Faskally fishing said we would be better with a rowing boat so Andy had to row round the loch. Caught nothing. Did see a salmon jump out the water taunting us! It was huge. Glad we didn't have to kill a fish. Then back to Youth Hostel. Walked down to amusements and checked with McKays hotel that they woudl turn on Man City Hamburg game. David had worst pie supper ever. Had tea in McKay ( David had his second tea)  and watched great game of football. Got free pudding. Back to YH and zzzzzz.
