THE FINAL STOP! (Innerleithen)

  A sudden mishap stops us flying! 

  We were having an absoulutley wonderful time in the town of Falkirk. Until Banjo went to the toilet that is. There were some extremely heavy doors, there is your first clue. I bet all you mums can guess what happens next. That's right he trapped his finger in the hinged of the door and was rushed straight to the nearest hospital. It turns out the 70% of the top of his finger was chopped of. 

Thankfully banjo is ok now. 

However, since and before that incident we have done some amazing things with our Grandma and Grandad in Scotland.

This is us absoulutley frozen just about to cross the border to Scotland. As you can see we are not quite dressed for the weather. 

This is one of the first things we went to. It is called the Kelpies and it represents two massive horses heads. The object itself is actually made of little parts of different shaped pieces of metal. 

This is the Falkirk Wheel. This is the only one in the world. It's job is to lift boats by water replacement up to the top of a canal system so barges can cruse to Edinburgh from there. 

One of the priveledges of Banjo going to hospital was that we got to stay for another week. And in that week we saw  Her Majesty the Queen on her way to open the new borders railway line. But the extremely special thing about it was that that day she became the longest reigning monarch in British history. Which is extremely special. 

We also had a day in the amazing Edinburgh Zoo. And we saw the most rare thing to see at a zoo anywhere. We saw one of the only two Pandas in Britan and one of only four in Europe. But the big treat was we saw it get out of bed and walk around for a bit! Unfortunately the other Panda in Edinburgh Zoo was hiding somewhere private. 

We also saw the cutest little penguin parade ever. They just traversed around a little track with everyone starring at them. This tradition has been going on for over 50 years. 

As you can see we also saw the Australian swamp wallaby - ha ha!

We have had an amazing time in the UK and it looks like we will be on our way to Sri Lanka very soon. I will try to keep the blog updated regularly.
