To Melrose

We left Robin Hood’s Bay this morning in the rain and caught the bus and then train and then bus again to Melrose in the border country of Scotland. The train from York to Berwick-on-Tweed was crowded and Val had to sit with her bag in front of her and her legs in the aisle. We got in just before 5 pm, which was enough time for Val to check out the fabric store in Melrose before we checked into our B&B. We then wandered to the King’s Arms and had drinks while it poured rain outside. When we got back to our room, Claudia and Christina had arrived by bus. They had a long day traveling from Nuremberg. We all headed back to the King’s Arms and had dinner and drinks. Now we’re getting ready to start our hike tomorrow.Les mer
