Drummohr Caravan Park Edinburgh

... already know all the best spots!

... but one side has nothing - it's just bare and exposing a monstrous building left from the time when the area mined coal from under the sea. I ask a guy sat next to me what the building is used for now and he tells me that it's going to be dismantled but requires a lot of money and asbestos specialists to take it down. The coastline will look ...

... the cold again, wondering where the hell this next bus is cos it wasn't on the schedule, and some random bus pulls up. Lovely old Stagecoach, joy. Getting on, the driver's moaning about how **** it was, and we're just like oh well it'll get us there right?

"We'll see.." .. highly reassuring, mate.

No issues though, and then around 11am we pull into Edinburgh! Finally got to see the Forth Bridge, and then seeing ...

Today, I was planning to go to the youth hostel at the castle, but the Land Rover had other plans!!!

Oh dear, game over! I popped out to start the Land Rover this morning at around 9am and the engine was smoking like a trooper and sounding a lot worse than it normally does. I called the AA at around 10:00 and they turned up at at around 10:45 from a local garage. He told me that the engine is fairly terminal (piston problem ...

... magazines publish all the show that are going to be playing in the next few weeks. Everything from dance, to comedy, to musicals and beyond. How you ever decide what to go to I'm not sure! I've browsed the magazine and am completely overwhelmed with choices.

Also got to experience the Fringe from a child's perspective. Went with the family to see some children's shows which were a lot of fun. Went to the Greatest ...

... also thousands of people there. apparently it's only over the past few years that it's become such a big event, having been free in previous years, attracting mostly the curious. finally, while it is a bit of a party, it seems to be the performers who are having a good time, and the rest of us are just spectators. anyway, i have pictures. they're all night-photos, so don't expect anything amazing....or any semi-nudity. today (sunday) was a nice ...

I have arrived! The place that I had planned on spending a significant chunk of my trip is now the place that I'm in and so spending that chunk of time.. I'm in Edinburgh and it's fantastic. After saying goodbye to the three farm dogs, Buster, Purdy and Squewy, and see you later to Davina in rainy Swindon. I got on a train that would, eventually, get me to Luton airpot, to get on a plane to ...

Luckily leah remembered we didnt have our passports or rail cards just before we got on the tube. we arived at the station to find the train packed and all the seats reserved. So we all packed in and after about an hour were able to score some seats. It didnt sem like too long before we arrived in edinburgh and went to the hostel. The footpaths were a little ...

... it. Trying very hard not to laugh, I explained to her that it was a tomato I had already eaten. She gagged a little bit but I told her to drink lots of beer and it would kill any germs she may have swallowed. I also reassured her I do not get cold sores and she was okay after that. Tonight was our last night together so once again we all went out for dinner, this time to TGI Fridays to use our 25% off coupons. We had a really good time and again everyone was ...

... a glass full of scotch him. That night we hit the bars pretty hard. The build up to the match was awesome as we got up pretty early and headed into a few local bars for a bit of banter with the locals and the many Kiwis in town. Near to the start of the match everyone was marching with Kiwi flags in hand all decked out in their finest All Black clobber. Pini and Myself meet Josh Kronfield a former lengendary AllBlack flanker, in the ...
