Edinburgh

Interesting two days in Edinburgh . Long train journey - bit of a nighmare going stuck with noisy family of mostly kids running riot. Arggh! Better coming back. Whilst Hazel was off chatting to Nigle Hivers I went off on my own to look round the museums and art galleries, of which there are in abundance. Especially liked the National Museum Of Scotland which was massive and crammed full of amazing stuff. Science, art, biology, fish, whisky, etc. etc.

Lucky with the weather - very sunny and quite mild. I was dressed for rain showers which never came - only on the way home on the train around Dunblane or Carlisle? the heavens opened. Edinurgh still crammed full of tourists despite being in middle of September - must be awful in the Summer! Feet ached from all the walking so took rests on park benches and people watched - pigeon watched etc. Worried Hazel wouldnt make the train home - got to Waverley station just in time! Gulp! Nice to get home eventually at 9.30pm and collapse into own bed.
