We have been in Scotland for three days now. We arrived after a 9.5 hour bus trip during which the bus toilet backed up and we had no rest stops. Ole walnut bladder here had a few issues with that, but eventually we arrived in Edinburgh. It was raining but still beautiful and we're staying with Harrys' family friends in the worlds' nicest and largest apartment. We (Harry, Briony and myself) love Edinburgh. It's small enough to walk everywhere but old enough for it to always be interesting. We've swum in Victorian pools, walked up Princes St, visited the National Portrait gallery and had the best curry I've tasted since i left home. And today, in an exercise feat I have rarely attempted, we hiked up Arthur's Seat. It went FAR better than the walk I tried up Smith Rock with Kevin and Bree, i.e. there was no passing out and only one oldish person passed us on the way up. Briony and I then bravely (read stupidly) decided to walk to THE summer promenade, Portobello Beach. It didn't look far. It was. And sadly, in all my travels I have yet to see a beach that compares to home. Whether its the grey weather, brown sand or the massive pump dumping god knows what into the water, Australian beaches kick other beaches ass.

And as a tribute to Suz I'll try and remember the movies I've seen since I've been away.
