The Scottish Embassy

Thor and I went for a walkabout yesterday afternoon and discovered a little hotel called the Safari Garden with a pool just blocks from our house. Upon inquiry non-residents are free to use the pool with the purchase of something from the bar (Remember beers are a $1) SOLD!! Came back with Nikki that evening. Thor decided he was going to raise hell chasing the resident cats, so I began making our apologies to the only occupied table. A very affable man with a super thick UK accent stood up and said “Welcome to the Sottish Embassy!!” Turns out the hotel was just taken over by this crew in an effort to create an NGO support and information resource for any and all volunteers and nationalities in the country. So we all had very entertaining conversation with this animated Scot, two Bulgarians and a local PC volunteer for the next 5 hours drinking more than we should have. We learned the proper way to toast in Gaelic and drink a single malt….I want to go to Scotland for my next vacation. Check them out Thescottishembassy.com
