Fun trip to Murrayfield for Scotland v Fiji.....lots of happy Scottish faces after the win, boys in fancydress, stag parties galore, chuc-chucs ferrying folks home in the rain, great cocktails in an Italian Jazz bar and running to catch last train back home on a busy busy Saturday night train heading South.

... is. He texted me last night and stated there was a delay with his plane, but since then we have been unable to get ahold of him. Not to worry everyone, because he is probably frustrated in Amsterdam and trying to get on another flight or just making the best of a bad situation there and his phone is probab dead.<br><br>Putting that aside, Bekah and I checked into our crazy old hotel in downtown Edinburgh called the Bank Hotel.

July 4 &#8211; Day 5 &#8211; Edinburgh: "My Heart for Lothian." <br><br>I woke up again around 6:15am with a start, feeling very strange. Perhaps it was the result of all the toxic fumes coming in through the &#8220;air conditioning&#8221; system throughout the night. I can't really describe it other than to say I felt a &#8220;creepy&#8221; vibe. The drapes were closed, and I couldn&#8217;t remember if I had left them that way. The bathroom light was on, despite the ...

... joking that we were like a couple. Our dinner was quite good though, with chicken and pesto, some rice, and a wonderful salad. Our healthy meal meant that when we went to the movies with Abbey and Paige at 8:15, we could have mini teacakes and candy. The four of us saw the Young Victoria, which we all enjoyed thoroughly. After the movie we hopped onto the underground and went back to our flats for a quiet Saturday night and went to bed early. It had been a long week.

... I've been simply *gorging* myself on the lovely, inexpensive, delicious, fresh salmon every day - they have it on the breakfast bar at our hotel (which is huge, delicious and amazing!), plus I've had it for a few meals. Tour starts in earnest tomorrow with a local tour guide taking us up the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle. I'm a bit worried about my ability to keep up with everybody, but I can always take a cab :)

... out there ... spooky! After our time at the castle we headed back to the bus station for yet another long bus ride. This time we were headed back to Edinburgh for our final night in Scotland. We decided to climb up Arthur's Seat when we got back and had a pretty good time. It is basically just a really large hill on the outskirts of Edinburgh. It was super foggy that day so we couldn't get any good pictures but it was still pretty cool. We managed to ...

Finally, finally, the real summer is here. It's been gorgeous in the city the past week or so and really hot the last few days. I wondered if it was ever going to happen. Laid out in the sun at the hostel two days ago before work and then went to town and sat in the park reading a book while I got a little colour on my arms. Things are going really good here at the moment. Work is getting busier, but I know the ropes now so it's all good. Been hanging ...

... and when the dealer confirms he is correct, he takes a big swig of beer and high fives the other gamblers around the table. Irish officials have taken Tim's skills and now are using it to predict the time that Rosin and Cormac will be returning from their walks... - Scientists and Historians are in awe after discovering that Charlie Prince Boning has been found as a goat hanging from the review mirror of a MACPAC BACKPACKERS truck in Scotland.
