Chancellors Court Serviced University Accommodatio Edinburgh

... already know all the best spots!

We plan to visit Edinburgh before going onto London. As my husband is of Scottish heritage. I need MUCH advice on getting around Edinburg, Scotland without driving ourselve. We only have a few days before we head down to London so we would like to maximize our time there without being frantic

... 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 ...

... sundown we mosied off to the cinema to watch New Moon [murdering the adventurer in me once again..] which was.. *shudders* then just had a nice chillout in the train station until it was time to leave. My friends on the bus back, and me with the new friends on the warm train.

Nothing amazingly special, but it was a great day. And our new mates are coming over tomorrow for some more fun times! Gotta love travel. :)

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.

... for someone like me who can't see enough of the old world masters. I know, I know you non artists eyes are now glazing over.

We had a great day and Gordon is so knowledgeable and accommodating. We are fortunate to have found him. Thank you Phyllis for suggesting hiring a driver!

Tomorrow it looks like it will rain, but we are headed to the mountains and some beautiful scenery even with rain. In Scotland rain is to be expected :)

... He took us to a venue next door, for some beer, drinks, cigarettes and the lounge we hanged in was great. Not too loud music and we could escape the horrible club feeling in the next room. Everyone seemed happy and relaxed. It turned out to be a great party. After a while, we went back to the bus , because the bar closed. In UK all seems to close up before we had time to properly enjoy.

Always when we arrived to a place, the shops got closed almost directly (6 pm) and if you ...

... held up to your ear like a cellphone with the price of admission, which I thought was neat. First I saw the courtyard with the fountain, and the outside of the palace. The towers on the left look and are older than the towers on the right, which were added in a remodling of the palace. Then, just inside the first door, there is another open area where you can see classical architecture and all the different types of columns, with the ionic in ...

... the day! More later, love you all! -Cass We are headed to Wales tomorrow to go hiking the country side :) It's going to be fun! The weather has been ******! But then again it is England, and we saw a billboard that read "3 million people in Britain are on depression meds, Are you happy?" I can see how that is possible the weather is just sooo gloomy here, we miss the Wisconsin sun (or better yet the Caribbean sun!)

... The dinner settings onboard were very precise - they actually have to measure everything with a ruler to make sure it conforms exactly to the predetermined standards. It was kind of neat, but nothing special and wasn't worth the 10 GBP entrance price. After, I did some shopping - I finally found a striped, grey hoodie that was a little dressier than the average hoodie. I've wanted one for a while now, and regretted not buying one in Florence - I ...

We spent the Easter long weekend with family friends the McLeods in Edinburgh. It's always good to spend such holidays with children; their excitement makes things more fun. Disappointingly though, Kate and Pete just didn't buy into the Easter spirit this year. We got into Edinburgh late on Thursday night and had a drink for Will (Happy 21st). Friday, Saturday and Sunday were spent walking around Edinburgh with the McLeods. We went ...
