Down to Edinburgh...

Friday, 22nd April - continued...

The drive to Edinburgh was through some hilly bits and past lochs and we kept seeing a little train, which we later realised Ann and Linda had taken from Oban to Glasgow.

Stopped a couple of times to re-adjust the supplies we'd bought, get some water from the boot, and for me to take a Panadol for the pain in my side. (Too much coughing and/or too much food, but it hurt every time I coughed!)
We had lunch at a little town called Crianlarich, and had a nice some ham and cheese toasties and a cuppa tea. Good to be able to have something light for a change, after all the rich and plentiful food on the cruise.
It was a bit tricky finding our way through to the road that would take us to the Forth Road Bridge, and we had a couple of false starts, but Lee innate sense of direction in this country won out, and she knew we didn't want to end up in Glasgow (this time), and so we eventually found the right one to get us to North Queensferry. If we missed that, we would end up on the Forth Bridge and be heading into Edinburgh!

"Northcliff" was then quite easy to find, and we were shown our 2-bedroom apartment by Liz, the owner.

On the way up some stairs, Lee stumbled and hurt her knee a little, and I had the pain in my side, so we had a simple dinner of some beast chicken and some potatoes, carrots and peas, and then crashed into bed.
