Penguins, fantastic & fun.

Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom
i have to say, we were like a couple of kids hunting these penguins down, we wished we’d found more when we looked at the photos tonight. People have had so much fun with them.
We headed for Arbroath (is this where you, Phil & the kids stopped for lunch Brony), a very old fishing port, one of the few still in use. 2.30pm, we sat in the car and made our lunch (we're skin flints), and watched the tide come in, pushing the boats higher & higher. The back ground of the prettily painted houses, simply delightful.there were yachts, launches, trawlers and a lone pilot, it was so quiet and peaceful.
I missed a turn to get us on the motorway to Aberdeen, so it took a little longer but it was an interesting event. We discovered a new luxury housing estate in the middle of nowhere. Googled it up Ury House. Interesting history, a new Jack Nicklaus golf course is being developed along with restoring the derelict house.
Arrive in Aberdeen at our hotel for the next 2 nights,  around 6.30pm.
Relieved to see my OneSmart preload currency card had arrived. Good service, but it shouldn’t have had to be sent here. All activated successfully.
