This is our final day in Edinburgh. I wanted to avoid having a large number of things planned. Breakfast, check out of the hotel (all at a reasonable time) and walk down Rose Lane from the tour booked hotel (not cheap) to a much cheaper location for what will be a very short night.
George is still alive, although I came close to strangling him a couple of times. After we dropped off our luggage at tonight’s location we walked over to the National Gallery. Parting ways at the Museum Shop. I just grabbed a seat on one of the benches near the front entrance and waited for him to see the exhibition. And waited. And waited. He finally sent a message saying that the exit had been on the other side so, when he didn’t see me, he headed off to a pub….
We managed to catch each other a couple of hours later. After wandering to our hotel for a while, I made another run out as the lovely yarn I got the other day is more lace weight than fingering and isn’t going to work for the shawl pattern I intended it for. But this John Lewis actually had some decent choices, So I will be able to entertain myself should I not be able to sleep on the plane.
Dinner was at a Greek restaurant across the street from the hotel (which is another IBIS clone) with Beverley coming in to join us. I am planning on getting some sleep early as we have to catch a cab to the airport at 0315.
