Here's a sample of the heavyweight championships:
Sunday, we spent the day on the Isle of Cumbrae. We took a ferry from Largs, about 45 minutes north of Ayr. We rented bikes and rode the 10.25 mile circumferance road of the island (only 4 miles long) and stopped along the way to picnic and enjoy the amazing scenery of this little island. On the way back into the one town on the island, we caught the beginning of a veteran's day parade complete with the island's fantastic pipe band and many well-dressed veterans carrying flags of their regiments. It was a great parade. We returned bikes and decided to hike up and over the highest point of the island. We got lost on a cow path! A really nice local lady stopped her car to ask if we were lost and offered to take us to the top (she was on the way to the park with her adorable son who will start school tomorrow). Don't worry parents, we aren't taking up hitch-hiking! She was lovely and said she wants people to love her island. She brought us to the top and explained how we could then walk back down to town. It was beautiful, a perfect day! Sadly, we forgot our camera! Here's a link to their tourism site, there are great photos there!
