Scotland
Made it to Edinburg last night. Train ride was very smooth, about 5 hours from Kings Cross Station in London, nice scenery. They really know how to do green in England. Our guest house much cheaper than hostel in London and much more comfortable. Nice bed instead of bunk bed and great breakfast included. Took a bus tour of city this morning, couldn't understand about 30percent of tour guide's Scottish brogue, but city is beautiful. Saw Scottish Parliament, St Andrews Sq, and tons of really old buildings, but very hard to navigate streets, I don't think streets have been straitened out since Mary Queen os Scots was here last and, understanding the bus system is a challenge. Went wrong way for 45 minutes, after never getting lost in London, oh well, it is an adventure. Plan to see castle in morning, it towers over city. Haven't been able to download photos to blog. Still working, only major problem so far.
