    This was an incredible, much needed trip. Scotland and Ireland are some of my favorite places in the world.
    Crazy how different life is from this time last year, but I'm figuring it all out as you will see in the video. Slow and steady wins the race.

    I cannot agree MORE! I’m married to a German from the Rhineland. Germans are total experts at slowing things down a little to truly enjoy and experience every moment of seeing things we’ve never seen before. My German wife loves to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine or beer, and SLOWLY eat at a restaurant/cafeteria at a foreign tourist site and hates how so many, especially Americans rush through things. On a tour and everyone is faces buried in phones and glancing at watches and shoveling food down their throats in 5 minutes and hurrying to do nothing! She loves to talk about everything…from the food, the sights, the history and US! I GUARANTEE YOU she’s added extended years to my life. I ❤️ my 🇩🇪 !

    I’m a Scot who met my now German wife over 25 years ago. We’ve traveled all over the world together and can 100% agree that you just have to travel with a German. We met in Germany when I was working there and our first trip together was Scotland. My wife had studied in Scotland and she knew more about my country than I did. This is still one of the best trips of my life, which is strange seeing that I used to live there.

    Well that was a pleasant surprise. As a Scotsman living in Germany it was nice to see the old country again. I must also say that after living here for so long, I am pretty “germanised”, as far as crossing on red goes etc, and during my last trip back home I felt like a total bafoon stood there waiting for the green man before crossing, as everyone else sauntered across the street without batting an eye.

I do so far rely on my credit credit card for rental insurance so am North American maybe in that way, but so far have rented cars outside of the UK.

      If you're in Bavaria in August, try to avoid tourist hotspots like Neu Schwanstein Castle or Chiemsee. You can easily rent a car and take smaller streets (Landstaße), avoid highways on saturdays. Use google earth in advance to check the surrounding areas or maybe look for restaurants. Be prepared for non English speaking people in rural areas -but I'm sure they will be helpful and nice anyway! Enjoy your stay
