Today
is travel home today, so we are in the hands of the movers. Luckily it went well with only a delay at the
Airport because of striking French Air traffic Controllers. Bus fares 2.70 to Kelso
by Peter Hogg, No 81 school bus from Town Yetholm. £7.90 to Edinburgh by Perryman’s
No 52 which took us back along a lot of the route we had walked, which I
enjoyed, just seeing it all whizzing past in an hour as opposed to several
days! The City Airport bus was £ 3.50 to the airport and goes from Waverley
Station. Ian in a last ditch attempt to improve my cultural understanding and
appreciation of Art (only joking) had me
looking at Edinburgh Castle, The Scottish Parliament and the Royal Mile. I
enjoyed them all and the Scottish Parliament is definitely well worth a visit.
Being stuck at airport for an extra hour as the flight was delayed was really
boring. Priority boarding really doesn’t make a difference, you may get on the
plane quicker but you still have to hang around waiting for everyone else, so
what’s the point I ask? We arrived at
Gatwick safe and sound and jumped on the Gatwick Express back to Victoria and
shot off home from there. Getting in around 2100 that night, another long day!
