Monday – On the Ground in Edinburgh
It’s Monday morning and we are in Edinburgh, safe and sound. It’s sunny and cool and we’re looking forward to a day of exploring the city on foot. The flight was uneventful – landing in Glasgow around 0700 on Sunday. Globespan seems to be a good airline. This was our first experience with them. Travel through the smaller airports (Hamilton and Glasgow) was fast and trouble free. Our bikes made the trip intact. For a budget airline, the service was exceptional. The meals were acceptable, frequent drink service and good headrests on the seats. Dave and Mari picked up their rental car at Glasgow, and were fortunately upgraded to a X-Trail SUV – fortunately as this meant all our bikes and gear fit into their car and will be meeting us in Aviemore without us having to lug them around on trains! We spent the rest of the day touring Glasgow briefly then over to Edinburgh and Mark and Jackie’s place, curry take away for dinner, then early to bed after 30 odd hours without solid sleep!
