July 9:
Today we are departing after several wonderful weeks here in Switzerland. First thing, I am off to return to a bead store where I have found a much sought after tid-bit for the new pieces I will make upon my return. After a short bus ride, I am back at the store and pick up my package, return to the apartment and we are off to the tram stop and onto the train to Geneva where we will catch a flight to Edinburgh. The travel is fairly uneventful and we arrive in Geneva without problems. After a very touch and go checking of our much too heavy bags, we wait for the flight and head to Scotland around 6:00. When we touch down in Edinburgh, we are thrust into a whole new climate....cold, rainy and grey! Not sure we have the right attire for our final leg of the journey and with not an inch to spare in our suitcases, we most likely will not be buying any new cloths. We manage to find the bus into town and hop a ride into the great unknown. We are told to depart the bus on Drum Brae Road and do as we are told. After that, the directions get a little murkey....take the 21 bus, no, take the 26 bus, not sure, hmmm.....well, well. Finally, we hoof it a little ways up hill to the 26 Bus stop and are lucky to learn we have chosen wisely. After a short ride, we are let off on the side of the road in the cold rain, but luckily we only have a short walk to the hotel. The place is quite a comfortable place. In fact, one of the best family rooms we have encountered. The kids have a set of bunk beds and well as a large pull our sofa and Paulie and I have a very cozy king-size bed with "don't want to get out of bed" soft linens. At this point, it is around 9:00 pm and our stomachs are calling for food. The restaurant bar offers a variety of good eats and we dig in. After our meal, it is back to our comfortable room for a very restful evening.
