Day 10. Fort William to Edinburgh

Up early we boarded the early morning rattler to Edinburgh. Still showery and from time to time we spotted walkers trudging through the rain. During the journey we were able to enjoy the scenery in comfort. It is beautiful.
Ensconced in our hotel we showered and had a nap in preparation for the Tattoo.
A final Scottish meal, a stroll up the Royal Mile, joining the queue for the performance.
It was a fine, cold night and along with 9000 other spectators enjoyed the colour, pomp, precision and pagentry whilst freezing our thingamajigs off. A wonderful night.
The themes was Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites. The crowd enjoyed the mock battle between the Redcoats and The Highlanders who sent the English packing. In reality the Scots won very few battles.
And do to bed for 4 hours sleep before our flight to Lisbon. Sun and rest.Read more

The taxi dropped off two weary travellers at the airport at 5-30am for our flight. Smooth. Easy check in with Easyjet and security.
Flight departed on time and Shirl slept all the way to Lisbon.
I said to Shirl last night that the Scots are very optimistic, they buy sunglasses. To prove me wrong it was a glorious day as we climbed out of Edinburgh.
Today was a travelling day. Arrival and processing was straight forward and quick. The taxi took is to the Rodovaria Sete Rios( seven rivers). Not the most pleasant of places, but was it efficient. The bus company Rede Expressos has a very modern, comfortable fleet. A smooth, enjoyable trip followed and we arrived at Alcobaca about 1645, tired but happy to be here.
A shower, early meal and off to bed.Read more
