Riding the train

from London to Edinburgh today. It’s about 240 miles and about 4 hours so about 60 mph with half a dozen stops. No more than 3 minutes off schedule ‘til the delay for a weather damaged bridge. Lost 19 minutes but made up ~5 and was about 15 minutes late getting to Edinburgh. Eastern England has been just pounded with rain the past few days. Got several months worth in a single afternoon. Free wifi on the train also so I was able to catch up.

Anyway, here we are in Edinburgh. Wifi is free in the lobby so I can write the blog in our room and come down here to post it. Tomorrow we plan to take an Edinburgh tour so should have images. We have a fabulous room with a balcony and a view. Our first on the whole trip I think.

Day after tomorrow we meet up with the tour director and will start our Scotland tour. The last this trip.
