A big travel day ahead! Today's itinerary involves flying from Barcelona back to London late this afternoon. Then, we'll have a few hours to spend in London this evening before catching an overnight train to Edinburgh, Scotland.
Two big firsts here - neither of us have ever gone on an overnight train before. We opted for a private cabin so we could at least have flat bunkbeds and privacy instead of being in a regular seated car with a bunch of strangers. And another first for me - Joe has been to Edinburgh before but I have not.
Most of what I know about Scotland comes from two sources - television/movies and my Scottish friend Chixor. She's actually moving from the States back to Scotland about a month after I visit. We have such poor timing. However, she was able to clue me in on some must-see attractions and yummy eats so we can optimize our short time for this very brief stop-over. We'll arrive in Edinburgh around 7am tomorrow (Thursday) morning and then take a train back to London Friday afternoon in order to catch our flight back home on Saturday morning.
By this point in the trip, I'm having a good time but also starting to feel quite ready to head home. I miss my kitties, I miss my bed, I miss the peace and quiet and ability to just be "off" instead of constantly on the go.
And if I had to guess? I'm also missing my blog.
sounds like you are having a blast. Can't wait to see some pics. Enjoy your vacation.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time!
ReplyDeleteI thought most of what you knew about Scotland came from me. Ah well, I did try my best.
ReplyDeleteWe're missing you too...but I'm so glad you're still on Twitter. :)
ReplyDeleteI love train travel. I've never got a private room, though.
