Bern to Edinburgh

After a bit of breakfast, I did a short walk to buy a pen so I could write a card for AM and T. I finished the book and delivered to AM and T and checked out of hotel about 11.30. Walked up to train station - so conveniently only 10 mins walk - and bought a ticket for 12.02 train to Zurich Airport. It was quite a full train although most people got off at Zurich Hauptbahnhof. I snoozed on the way.
I had a few hours to kill before my flight but the time passed. Edelweiss Air flight to Edinburgh - I was in a middle seat on the flight but it was all ok; the lady next to me had flown from the USA to see Taylor Swift - along with her father.
The flight arrived early and I navigated the tram into Edinburgh City and then a bus down to the restaurant in Morningside where Shona was having a family birthday. I just had some peppermint tea while they finished their dessert.
We all then drove to the flat where I was to stay, a 10 minute drive away. Shona’s brother and sister in law had bought it recently for their sons while at university as they had calculated the rent at 80000 GBP for the 2 boys for 4 years.
Lovely flat. 3 bedrooms. Perfectly functional as is but Ewan is renovating it. They all left a bit before 11pm. It felt a bit strange being there!Read more
