We are sitting in the Edinburgh airport waiting to start the first leg of our journey home. This goes without saying but are sad to leave as this has been the trip of a lifetime.
Yesterday we ventured out to Scotland's coast, only a short bus ride from the city center. It was far from swimming weather but the sun was out. We mosied along the beach, munching on cheese sandwiches, apples and BBQ Pringles :) After going back into town we spent the rest of the afternoon walking around Edinburgh and enjoying the relatively nice weather. There are huge, hilly, green parks here that look up onto the old parts of the city. Beautiful. We dozed, laughed and reminisced while laying under a blue sky and warm sun.
Scotland has been amazing and it is close to the top of the must do list when we come back to Europe. The people here are warm, friendly, inquisitive and ready to point you towards a pint when needed! Even their version of TSA is nicer and more polite than ours, a definite perk :)
So now we spend the next 14 hours in an airport or on a plane. Feeling blue to go home...excited to see friends and family (including a certain kitty Mason)...looking forward to coming back in the not too far future. See you all soon!
Addition: We are now in London. Every flight in Europe seems to be delayed. Our flight to Heathrow was an hour late and our flight home is behind an hour and a half. That makes four delayed flights this trip.
