Second installment of Gnorma Jean's overseas travel!

There's lots to see & do in Edinburgh, so spent more time seeing the sights.

Gnorma Jean likes to wander off & ends up in interesting places.

Luckily this wasn't the cannon that is fired at 1 o'clock every day.

Also, no amount of bribing would get her to divulge what a Scotsman does or doesn't wear under his kilt.

As well as interesting places, Gnorma Jean ended up meeting some interesting local wild life - luckily the highland cow didn't find her to his liking, so she didn't come to a sticky end.

She disappeared early one morning when we were at Loch Ness and was the only one on the trip to catch sight of a "Nessie" .....
...we still had no luck while out on Loch Ness that night, though enjoyed the sunset


Had a wakeful night at Carbisdale Castle as it's supposed to be haunted and Gnorma Jean doesn't like ghosts only gnomes!

As if it wasn't enough to visit Scotland & England, Gnorma Jean had a try at visiting Hogwarts but couldn't quite get through the barrier.

Final stop of the trip was Singapore, Gnorma Jean was a little overwhelmed by the size of the Merlion, so didn't have her photo taken with him.

She's now having a bit of peace & quiet until the next part of her journey.

Gnorma Jean in England!

Gnorma Jean arrived safely in Christchurch for a few days rest before heading off to the UK.

A word of warning to whoever may travel with Gnorma Jean, it's very deceptive what she can carry with her!

She stuck with the "no alcohol" on the plane but enjoyed all the food & entertainment on offer.

Met up with some fellow New Zealanders, also traveling to the UK

Transit stop in Singapore provided an opportunity to walk around & stretch our legs after a 12 hour flight.

Despite all the food served on the plane, Gnorma Jean was peckish & was found eyeing up some local food.

Arrived in London & straight into sightseeing - found someone who shares her love of pink

The Queen was fortunately at home but only Gnorma Jean was invited for morning tea.

Gnorma Jean also had the opportunity to meet Norma Jean!


Travelled up to Scotland by train. Once again straight into the sightseeing


Gnorma Jean really enjoyed the Edinburgh Tattoo and got into the spirit of the occasion by dressing appropriately

Further instalment to come...
