Current City: Edinburgh
It`s interesting to think that the flat I`m staying at in Edinburgh is roughly the same age as the oldest building in Vancouver. And this isnt even that old. As a North American, this seems like such a novelty. And the fact that every day thousands of people walk past this incredible castle that`s hundreds of years old perched on a hill overlooking the city.
As amazing as Edinburgh is, getting here proved to be a bit of a challenge. In the interest of saving a couple of pounds on a flight, I flew out of London Luton Airport; one of the shittest airports in the world. Calling it a London airport would be like putting an airport in Mission and calling it a Vancouver airport. To make things easier for people getting there (because occasionally people have to get to or from an airport), the trains will stop at either Luton or Luton Airport Parkway, although not all trains stop at the one you want. Most of the time they stop at the one you dont want. Needless to say, I didnt get off on the stop I wanted and ended up going on to Warwickshire, or something like that, and sumarily missed my flight. The options were to catch a flight to Glasgow a few hours later and then train across to Edinburgh, or go back to London Gatwick and wait even longer. I opted to stay at the airport. What`s interesting about Luton is not that the security was actually worse than most airports I`ve been to, but that there are no seats at the departure gates. All outbound passengers have to wait in a single lounge until their departure gate is displayed on a screen (which only happens about 20 mins before the flight leaves), and then run to that gate.
So I finally got to Edinburgh about 6 or 7 hours later than expected, was thoroughly exhausted, and proceeded to have a couple pints at the club that Bryan Jones works at.
Edinburgh has been amazing so far! Went climbing yesterday at Ratho Climbing Arena (pictures to follow), plan on catching a rugby match later today, then off to Glasgow for a bit of a party.
