To Edinburgh
Off to Edinburgh trundling down to Preston Park, and then off to St Pancras, then crossing the road, we had a coffee and boarded the train to Edinburgh. A long journey, fairly pleasant too, with us talking to two characterful older women sitting next to us. Hours of the journey was taken up with playing Sherlock Holmes in great detail. We finally got to the end of the first case, and Lorraine decided we had solved most of it. Also played DinoDump, the card came with pictures of dinosaurs and dinosaur poop on it, slightly mystifying the two ladies next to us, one of whom in particular had led a colourful life in the US and well into her seventies, now having moved up to Scotland.
We arrived at Waverley Station in the dark at around tea time, and caught a cab to Kew House on Kew Terrace, a pleasant Bed and Breakfast and we were greeted by Alan, a friendly and loquacious gentleman who explained how to hail a cab and other information useful to martians. A good clean and comfortable room, however, so we were pleased with that. We went on a longish walk to a pub near the University to meet Jade and Sam called the Dagda Bar. Good to see them both, although Sam tired and disoriented looking. From there to a pleasant bring your own booze Indian Restaurant, where I had a surprisingly delicious biryani. Nice to see the pair of them again, Jade sunny and chatty as usual. From here we got an uber, dropped off Sam and Jade and then continued to our B n B.
Below Lorraine playing Sherlock Holmes on the train. I texted Anton and told him this was his fault.
