We needed to change hotels today. With the number of people in town for the International Bagpipe Competition, both competitors and enthusiasts, it seeme like most hotels were quite limited on space for various dates. So we checked out of our hotel, walked down the street to the one where we are staying tonight, dropped off our bags, and went out for a wander.
My interest on the wander primarily had to do with coffee and bakery goods. I also was wondering about yarn or stitching materials, but the only place with anything that was a reasonable walking distance was the John Lewis Department Store. Frankly not worth the bother.
Our wander also including the Central Train Station, Waterstones Bookstore, and locating our hotel for tomorrow night. We headed back toward tonight’s hotel and didn’t have to wait all that long before we were able to have early check in. I didn’t go out for the rest of the day. Peopled out so to speak…
