Outlander Season 2 anyone?

Thailand was not on our bucket list, but our niece who lives in Melbourne had her wedding there. We fell in love with the island and we've spent the last two winters there and are booked for next winter again.
Yes, lots of Aussies there.
That must have been an unforgettable wedding to attend. I envy your niece. Melbourne is a wonderful city. I took my daughter, by train from Adelaide for a weekend Pink Bus shopping tour. She still talks about it. Have you visited Australia?
Love Melbourne and Sydney. We've been twice - 2005 and 2009. Been to Tasmania, Great Ocean Road, and the long drive from Melbourne up to Sydney. My husband's brother moved to Melbourne from Scotland back in the 70's. So he has an Aussie wife, and two half Aussie daughters.
The wedding was spectacular! They married on a beach. Most of their friends and close family were there.
Don't know when we are going to get back to Australia but when we do we want to snorkel around the Great Barrier Reef.
Great that you are so physically active. Snorkeling around the Great Barrier Reef would be such a thrilling adventure, and when you are able to get back to Oz, I'd love to see your photos. My Tassie friend's partner is a Scot who immigrated as a wee tyke..a fair lot of U.K. ex-pats there.
Aye, many there from the UK. Husband's brother, two of his nieces from another brother, his cousin's family moved there as a child in 1955.
We snorkel in Thailand. Love seeing all the pretty fish. We are both very active and will keep doing so until we just physically can't.
Being as active as you and your husband are, you'll be snorkeling well into your 90's.
You're going to enjoy the new season of Outlander. I just caught up on the latest episode. Now, if only Poldark would return.
Hope so. The problem with getting older is you can't rent a car after a certain age, even though you're driving is fine.
I'm saving up the episodes so I can watch at least 3 in a row. Guess I'm hooked on binge watching. Hubby and I find a series and watch one after the other. Just finished Happy Valley.
My sister will be visiting and in June we're spending a week in Edinburgh. We'll do a day trip up to Fife and I've talked her and my hubby into going to two of the villages where Outlander was filmed. One was as Inverness in the 1940's and the other was Cranesmuir where the witch trial was filmed. Neither of them are Outlander fans.
Thank you for the link, not only for the Outlander series location, but also for the excellent, Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design 2016. I'm interested in architecture, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Andy Scott's "Kelpies" are breathtaking.
I got my sister totally hooked on Outlander when she came to visit, and when we went back to visit the rest of the family in Michigan. While she was here we visited the village of Culross which was Cranesmuir in the series. So I've seen every episode of Seasons 1 and 2 at least 4 times.
On Friday we were walking through Glasgow near the city centre as we were there for a wedding. And guess who we walked past? Gary Lewis who plays Colum Mackenzie. He's not tall - only about 5'5". I looked at him and it clicked that he looked 'very' familiar. He knew I recognized him, but I didn't say a word. When we walked past my husband said 'do you know who that is'?? Ummm...yea.

It was! Couldn't wait to tell my sister and other fans!
I've read all 8 books so I know what's coming, although they do make some changes. Season 3 should be great! I think they'll start filming soon. I'd love to catch a peek sometime.

Just started to watch Outlander on DVD. Really bizarre watching the external castle scenes and how they've altered it. My daughter was married in the great hall.
When they filmed Game of Thrones there. Sean Bean was worried that filming there would trash the grounds and spoil any wedding photographs, so he sent a magnum of champagne to all affected brides. My daughter included.

As a GoT fan, that's a very cool story! Long live Ned Stark.
How nice!
