Final Impressions

It felt weird to end our stay at the Marriott.  It very much felt like an American hotel, which was a bit disappointing after the hospitality we received at the various B and Bs.    

•          What will the weather be today?  Between 50-60 with showers.  No more details needed in order to be accurate for the entire trip.  If you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change.
•          Sheep – everywhere
•          So many beautiful vistas I finally stopped snapping photos and tried to just drink it all in.
•          Wild flowers and garden flowers in abundance everywhere.  I loved the gardens!  If only I could grow foxglove at home like it grows in the wild here.
•          White washed houses, or grey stone.  No other colors really used except for trim.
•          Some many seriously great hiking trails it would take a decade to hike even half of them.

•          Winding, narrow roads varied with a few stretches of wider straight road, followed by more winding narrow roads.
•          Very welcoming and hospitable people in every town we visited, even in the capital where there are so many more tourists.

Would be great to return some day!
