ABERDEEN SCOTLAND 12th January 2013

I'm in the beautiful city of Aberdeen in Scotland. Its freezing and snow is predicted tonight, but its a lovely place. The people i have had contact with today have been so nice and helpful and its funny how everyone has a relative or friend living in Australia.

I spent the day walking all over the city and a very nice man at the info shop convinced me to ride the local bus service instead of walking in the sleet, so i did and the first bus i caught to Duthie Park the driver told me to sit at the front and he would let me know when my stop was coming up. When it did he said " I've been thinking and i think you should get off on the other side of the park, it might be easier for when you have to catch the bus back " i asked him what was he trying to say and he said that i had the " look lassie like you might get lost on me, best to do it this way else I'll worry " so funny.

The park is lovely and inside the green houses it was just beautiful. I spent ages clicking away and got talking to a professional photographer who was taking pictures using all different settings, very interesting chat we had.

Stacy ? could we get our hanging baskets at work to look like this ? Tomorrow I'm going to explore the beach area because the info guy said its worth a look even in this weather. I also had a hair cut, its nice and short now. I was sick of having hair flying in my face and beanie hair so now its gone and i have what the girl called a pixie cut, a little bit longer than yours Anna but not much. Well I'm off to get some dinner now, the Chicken Caesar salad with garlic ciabatta looks good. Ciao from the very cold but beautiful Aberdeen.
