First coffee

None of us managed to sleep for very long on the first night of our holiday. I don't know if it was the time delay, excitement, or something completely different, but the whole family was awake no later than 6am and we had to scramble around to think of something to do. A quick search online and we soon realised that the local IHOP was open 24 hours (because you never know when you might need some pancakes), so that was the problem solved.

We arrived at IHOP at 7am and it was still dark. It felt like the middle of the night and there we were, the stand-out-from-the-crowd Scottish family (if there had been a crowd, that is) with our shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops on. Thankfully, we weren't the only people there and we were soon settled into our little booth with a big pot of coffee to perk us up. As you can see from the photo, I needed a fair amount of perking up. I've got bags on my bags!
