Premier Inn Livingston (Nr Edinbugh)

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.

... we were drinking our coffee we decided to do a quick sketch of the train station. As we were sitting there a nice older man in a kilt caught a glance of what we were doing and invited himself over. He pulled up a chair and started to explain to us that he used to teach architectural drawing classes and now is a professional artist who gives presentations on his work. He asked to take a look of each of our sketchbooks and gave ...

... life then that's exactly where I would be. It would be better, it would be easier if they liked and accepted me but it was not essential. What Heather felt about me was of most importance. Just then, my mind was brought back down to earth by the airline staff calling the flight. I have always been one of the last people boarding any flight I've ever got. It amuses me to see everybody jump up into a queue and stand for 20Min's when they ...

... and going on a 7 night cruise from Vancouvar to Anchorage (Alaska). After the cruise we head our separate ways with them continuing on a train trip and Matt and I heading to LasVegas (we think) for a few nights before heading back home via New York. Only the cruise is booked so far but we figure it will probably be the only time we visit America/Canada/Alaska so we might aswell get in a few places whilst we're there. We hope to fit in a few smaller trips ...

... Centre to use the internet. Apart from the internet issue we really like the apartment we're in although we're only in it for a few more weeks. Matt started work lat Friday which is going well and the tradition of Friday night drinks is alive and well over here too. We haven't managed much sight seeing between Matt working ...

Stopped off in Alnwick for a bite to eat and a cuppa. Nice little town. Alnwick Had a good trip to Edinburgh - fine and great countryside and ocean views. Arrived early afternoon. Found the B&B after circling it for a while - it didn't have a sign and 5a is under street level. Again the mobile phone ...

I just thought I should give you all a bit of background about where I'm living at the moment and maybe give you a little more appreciation for some of the photos that have just been put up (although not with this entry). I have to say that I think the thing that I'll miss most about edinburgh will be the hostel that I've been living for the couple of months. I at first though that I'd get sick of living in a hostel for ...

... going to Shanghai I will be going on a Yangze Cruise and visiting a Tibetan Monestary. I've also got a week between my train arriving in Beijing and the trip leaving Beijing, so I may see about getting a flight to either Shanghai or Japan for a few days, if it's not too expensive. This, of course, is all dependent on SARS and I may still have to cancel my China trip altogether.
