Berlin - Edinburgh Days 22 and 23 (6 & 7 August)
Back in familiar territory now at Edinburgh. Easy 2 hour plane trip from Berlin to Edinburgh. Been busy doing some 'domestic' tasks as staying at a friend's place for a few days so access to a washing machine is very useful after 3 weeks in hotels. Topped up bus card, checked out how much credit we had on our UK phone and managed to squeeze in a trip to Fat Face and an Ecco shop. Gave directions along the way to tourists - there are of course many many tourists here because of the Fringe.
Given our lack of a Scottish accent I assume we must look quite at ease here - hence the requests for directions. Sampled some coffee at Stockbridge. Agreed were not going to suffer from a caffeine overload any time soon. We know some good coffee places but were not going to trek to Leith for a cup. Not yet anyway.
And the weather. Sunny, rain, humid, cool, thunderstorm (and just repeat).
Had dinner at local Pizza Express at Stockbridge last night. Become a bit of a tradition. Very cute pizza place on the edge of the waters of Leith. Unusually picturesque for a pizza joint.
Dinner at home tonight. Visited Stephen's favourite butcher - George Bower and got a selection of game and pork sausages. Will have with some veg. Looking forward to a fairly plain meal.
Also visited local bookshop in Stockbridge and stocked up on a couple more books as I am still churning through them.
Off to see a Fringe show tomorrow night with some friends from London and dinner afterwards. Will be fun.
