Last stop, St. Andrews!

We travelled across Scotland from Troon to St. Andrews which took between two to two and a half hours. We drove across this bridge:
...and while we did we spied this bridge across the way for trains:
We would later go across that red bridge when taking the train from the St. Andrews area to Edinburgh (but more on that later).

Still no Highland coos...but pretty views along the way. OMG you can see my foot in the mirror! LOL

Here we are!

The outside of our B&B...

The view down our street towards some of the many colleges of The University of St. Andrews (if you follow the royal stuff, this is the school where Prince William and Princess Kate went).

The stairs leading up to our room inside Aslar House.

I loved that we have a little couch so I am putting a pic of that. I sit here a lot on this couch (the thing will all the bags on it).

The other side of the room...


Tea "tray"!

Possibly my most favorite pic of our whole trip...eating lunch our first day in St. Andrews before Mike goes off to play at Carnoustie.

He's back with his logo ball! He said Carnoustie was the toughest course of the whole trip.

While Mike golfed at Carnoustie I did a little shopping on Market Street. I put an X on the map where the B&B is. This town is awesome. There are shops, a movie theatre, tons of golf, lots of places to eat, and the collegiate atmosphere mixed with all the golf nuts from around the world is just FUN. St. Andrews has been our favorite place so far during this entire trip.

Never saw this little guy, but I loved this ad in one of the brochures here. The seagulls in this town are CRAZY! They are so loud and territorial and sometimes sound like humans crying or cats meowing. We witnessed one steal and entire sandwich out of a guy's hand!! 

This place has THE BEST hot chocolate. They have a little sign inside that says "This is where Kate dumped Wills." Or something like that, I can't remember exactly!

Next post...does Mike get onto The Old Course at St. Andrews Links?
