Gideon’s view in Edinburgh
Monday, 28th of May 2007
The last day is always a weird day when travelling. It’s often a day you just have to get through before you are off to catch your flight or train. But in stead of waiting (her train goes at 7pm) she still had the photo quest to fulfill.
Dear readers,
We know that this postcard will arrive when we are already back home in London, but it is the thought that counts isn’t it?
Edinburgh is a lovely lovely city, and there is so much to see! The castle is amazing, the large hill (which is an extinct volcano!) in Holyrood park is absolutely stunning, there were flowers and there are several places in the city where you can get high and nighy (yeah the cinema!) and have breath taking views over the city. And the sun was shining all the time, which got us some great pictures!
On this postcard you can see the architecturally interesting building from the Scottish parliament, climbing the volcano hill, houses near the royal palace, and some beautiful flowers.
As you can see Edinburgh is diverse, and we love it here.
Love from us, actually!
The Girl and The Pirate.

(and yes we took those pictures ourselves :)
The flying Dutchman with a Scotsman in a Flying Scotsman train. This trip couldn’t go wrong.
If you don’t want to read about Edinburgh, come back somewhere at the end of the week. If you do – it’s going to be a trilogy in 4 parts. Please step in.
In case you were wondering why it is so quiet over here – well I am in the process of falling in love with Edinburgh. I’ll be back in London tomorrow with more about this lovely city, men in kilts, taxi drivers which voicilicious accents, lots of pictures, a new addition to my “Bill posters will be prosecuted” collection, and a lost heart.
Oh and I saw Pirates again, just to check if I hadn’t overdone it in my review, but I hadn’t. This is one fantastic Pirate movie.
Jo-ho, jo-ho …
A dead swan in Scotland has been tested positive and was infected with the dangerous version of the bird flu. That means big “Don’t Panic” words on nearly all newspapers today, and a lot of talk about birdflu. The big question now is : where did this swan came from ? Has it been infected in another country, and flew to the UK, or has it been infected by other infected bird, already in the UK. This will probably occupy the newspapers and news quite a bit the coming time.
I just don’t panic.
