I shall start with the typical airport sketches -

since we had an evening flight, we had golden hour in the airport.

Heathrow is a huge airport.. “Terminal 5″ would become the nightmare phrase in the UK for the next 2 weeks. Every evening news will headline the T5 fiasco. They had over 15,000 luggage piled up. Ours being 2 of the 15,000.

This is what happened at the new terminal the day we landed.

Our flight to Edinburgh was delayed and the Pilot himself didn’t know what was going on. Nevertheless, we were cleared to take off, and sounds like we were the last to leave T5 that day.
We rented a car and drove on the other side of the road in the dark. Duncan on the wheel, me with the map, and dodging the round-abouts, we managed to reach or hotel.

We spent the first several days walking around Edinburgh. Since most tourist hot spots can be found online and also in our photos, I will like to focus my entries to what attracted me.

theses are some views from our hotel window. The buildings here are old. And it goes so well with the gloomy sky.

The cobblestone streets excited me too. It’s just a parking lot ( car port they call it) but what a quaint one..

we walked up and down the Royal Mile, checking out the alleys which are called “close”. Lots of rain from day 1, but during the breaks, we saw lots of rainbows.

more to come..
