Day 25: Trump and the sea

Day 25: Trump and the sea

Trump is leaving today, so the roads of our campsite are also blocked this afternoon. We wanted to go for a hike, but decide to cancel it after yesterdays busy day and we don’t like to be stuck outside of our campsite again, so we decide to be stuck at our campsite instead.

For public safety

We spend our morning at Duffus castle next door. It’s not very impressive, but a small ruin. A stone castle was built upon the earlier wooden Motte and Bailey castle. It was not well constructed as the major tower was already falling apart when the first lord was still living there.

We buy some lunch and are back at our holiday park at 11:30 and only leave it to go to the beach. It’s sunny and there is no wind. We spot some small fish and some bigger crab when we try our snorkeling gear. The water is crystal clear.

Fighter jets circle most of the early afternoon, one even goes straight up leaving us with a concetrated amount of jet noise.

We also build a sand castle but the children get cold, so we go back inside. We cut Cleo’s hair and hear Trump’s helicopters approaching at 17:30. Tim heads out to the light house with his telelens to get some nice shots. The first chopper is a chinook, which is followed by marine one and two, the presidential choppers. Not long after they have landed Trump walks up the steps and Air Force one powers up takes off, leaving us to roam free once again.

We end the day with a swimming session in the campsite pool.
