In Dundee, Scotland now. Reached here last evening. Here for a short vacation. Its beautiful and picturesque. Rolling green meadows with lazing cows and sheep, dark green conifers and bright vibrant wild flowers lined the roads on the way from Edinburgh to Dundee (which is an hour away from Edinburgh). But its soooo very quiet...not a soul on the road...the silence is deafening!!! The only sound is that of the occasional passing cars.
Walked down to the pier on the River Tay as it joined the North Sea. Cries of the Sea Gulls rented the still air. Beautiful houses....with neat pots of flowers lined the doorsteps on the river front. Picked up some river-washed smooth pebbles and took some lovely photographs....(planning to upload them soon).
And surprises of all surprises, it remains bright as daylight till around 10.30 pm at night....its amazing...seriously...my body is taking quite some time adjusting to the new time frame!!!
The streets are so neat and clean and beautiful shrubs and flowers in full bloom line the roadsides. The houses are picture perfect, with well manicured lawns and rock gardens on the front. Its splendid!!!
Plan to take a tour of the castles and the lakes sometime during my stay here....
Its very beautiful...the landscape reminds me of Shillong and the other regions of the Northeastern part of India ...minus the dirt,noise and quintessential paddy fields (that are soo symbolic of the Indian countryside) !
Will sign off now...
See ya later...
Do take care...
