Edinburgh

It took me two Qwell and 7 hours to get from London to Edinburgh, I reckon it would have been quicker to drive and much more pleasant but we are here and it's absolutely delightful! I've always loved Scotland. Lovely crispness to the air and those wonderful lilting accents... we were met at the Airport by one very old single decker bus that David was in raptures about... of course my drugged brain didn't register what model or year it was but I will let David fill you in on those details when we have better Internet access.
The buildings in Edinburgh are wonderfully austere, mostly made of a grey stone and very straight up and down with regimented neat streets and if you're lucky you catch a glimpse through shining windows of well polished wood and a wonderful warmth. Not unlike some buildings in Melbourne. Colour is everywhere with flower boxes full of Geraniums, Lobelia, Pansys and enormous Begonias it's a riot of colour... so far we've had excellent meals and are yet to see any Deep Fried Hamburgers or Deep Fried Mars Bars as we'd been told... maybe that will come!
Lunch yesterday was under the Forth Rail Bridge which is a rather wonderful looking old bridge, I do remember David raving about it last time we were in Scotland!!
Today David was in heaven at the Scottish Bus Museum, I went along with him in the morning but decided to potter around the wonderful Pitbauchlie House Hotel and gardens this afternoon. Tomorrow after more Bus stuff we head to Stirling for two nights, I'm looking forward to pottering around there on my own. I'm writing this in haste... I've never had to pay for Internet Access before, it's a bit nerve raking!!
