Bagpiped Out of Port

Today was our last day in Scotland and not one part of my body wants to
leave. I am writing this while sitting in the window watching us sail
away. I could start crying right now. I see some sheep still!!

Today we got to sleep past 7 because we didn't have anything planned. We
got up and walked 30 minutes to the Greenock train and headed to
Glasgow. We basically wandered all day. We got steak pie and it was sooo
good. It was actually really warm out. We did souvenir shopping and
finally got our croissants. That makes 5 countries and 5 croissants. No
one is going to stop us. We are on a mission to get 11/11. We made the
train again to be back on board by 6.

We just got back into the room because we were watching the boat pull
away from port. It was the coolest thing ever. While the crew got the
boat ready, bagpipers came out of the port terminal. They played for a
good 30 minutes. It was so amazing and such a legit Scottish experience.
They had people on the dock at the port waving with flags and they kept
playing as we got further away. It was probably the coolest experience
so far. It was pretty hard not to jump off the ship and stay in
Scotland, but Ireland is next. I don't know how I will leave there.
