Ayr Wednesday

Had a slow day today. We went for a drive along the coast to Troon, just north of Ayr. Found the Troon Cruising Club (at the marina) and had a coffee with a great view.

Then on to Kilmarnock for a look

then back to Alloway, just outside Ayr to see Robert Burns’ birthplace. He was born in 1759, died 1796. Didn’t know that he wrote Auld Lang Syne.

Back early to our accommodation, then Rick walked 2507 steps (2.3 km)(according to the app) to Tesco and back for minor provisions. Off to Falkirk tomorrow.

    We have been to Robert Burns' birth home - very nice environment.
    Our birthday wishes for you to wake up to Rick, from Jan and me. Hope you have a fun day and do something special (well a little more special than "just" holidaying in a great overseas location!)
