going Maritime

We have yet more visitors!..our friends from the Western Isles , on their way home from a wedding in England.
Lunch at The Coo Shed cafe near Alloway was followed by a visit to the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine..an inspiring place.





















There are other boats jut up the jetty and a tenement house reconstruction,with an hour's guided tour...but our feet gave up before that!

The order of the day was then a cuppa and cake in the Puffers Cafe, and ice cream from Vanilla Joe's Gelateria, and the chance meeting with a fellow cyclist who started cycling with a leisurely Land's End to John o'Groats ride..and four year's later, at 52, she is still enjoying riding around, using her bike one way and train the other.

Then back home....and rest!

What a fascinating place. You do get around.

I like the next to last picture, with houses sparkling in the foreground.

Susan it isn't easy to find places in this area..we don't have many galleries and museums close by. It is good to have the national Maritime museum so near..and yet that is still over half an hour's drive...
