I am seriously road-weary, thus the break in the blog posts. Plus, most of our day was lost to travel getting to Edinburgh on the train. Our open pass on the rail gives us lots of flexibility, but doesn't guarantee a seat. The first part of the trip I sat on the floor between cars, which was mostly cool and comfortable. But the restroom plumbing between cars was malfunctioning, and it also meant I sat in some kind of leaky water from it. No, I really don't want to talk about it. Or think about it. But a barrel of Bactine would be nice.
It was pretty cool to see the North Sea out our train window as we started coming into Edinburgh, so I tried to get some video of that here for your to enjoy, just click here to watch.
We walked out the strangest dark underground hallway from the train station in Edinburgh to enter the city. It came out in a dark alley on a dark rainy afternoon. That was pretty cool actually. We made our way up a very steep hill to the street level and grabbed a cab to our hotel.
And that was pretty much it. We ordered room service, scheduled some massages, and slept. Huge kudos to our travel agent, Laura, for booking an OUTSTANDINGLY awesome hotel for the end of our trip. Just when we're really spent and need some pampering, Hotel Roxburghe is PERFECT. We're gonna heal up, get some massages Wednesday, and hit it good again.
Rest, weary traveler!
ReplyDeleteDoin' better, but tomorrow is Thursday is definitely bittersweet. It's starting to wear on me a little learning new streets, etc. every 2 or 3 days. Then Jeri met a couple who were on a package tour where they were in a different city every day and had to stay with the tour group everywhere they went! UGH! That would be pure hell.
