Great night’s sleep, at last. Managed to get the
temperature right!
Today we’re off to Edinburgh on the bus, via Glasgow.
It’s 3 hours to Glasgow and another hour to Edinburgh for the last day of the
Festival.
The journey is very picturesque along the banks of Loch
Lomond for much of the way and often paralleling the West Highland Way.
A quick changeover at Glasgow where there is some
confusion about our bus booking as Trip 923 is to Belfast not Edinburgh! We get
on the 900 instead and it goes the right way dumping us in mid Edinburgh to the
sounds of the 1812 Overture, rehearsal for the fireworks tonight.
We need to trudge across to the Royal Mile to find our
hostel and after some geographical confusion we find we are just 30 m off that
thoroughfare.
Our room however is tiny with double bunks and HOT. I am
typing this in the courtyard outside our room as it’s far cooler BUT is where
the smokers are! Bugger.
There are fireworks tonight to celebrate the end of the
Festival along with music as mentioned before including the 1812 Overture, so
we head off to try and get a free view, however it starts to rain and we are
very poorly prepared, so we retreat to the Hostel.
It is still hot in our room, in spite of an open window,
all night.
