Ahoy, me hearties.
Not a lot has happened since Spain. I went back to London, stayed at my mate Tim's house in Islington and ate more than my fair share of gourmet hamburgers. Lots of nice places to eat in Islington and I found a great place called 'Fine-burger' -- aptly named because the burgers certainly are fine. Also the price of them is like a fine as well. You pay through the nose but very tasty.
Can't remember what I wrote last. I left Sheffield for London and caught up with mates. On the Sunday, we caught a train to Watford, who has a rubbish football team but the area is very quaint, and oh-so-very English. So Tim, Kelly (Tim's gf) and I visited their friends out there and we all drank Pimm's and ate a roast under the English sun, which turned to rain, which turned to sun and then rain. And then sun again.
During the week, I just worked on my resume and portfolio and took it easy. Booked a train ticket to Scotland and caught up with a mate for dinner out in Hammersmith. Didn't see any hammers or smiths. (Sorry).
Currently I'm in Scotland. More specifically, Edinburgh, as the title suggests. It was only a 4.5 hour train ride and I preferred that to flying, even if the other option was quicker.
Staying with Steve Duncan at the moment. Edinburgh is a nice place. Took a stroll around today and walked through 'New' town before crossing over and visiting 'Old' Town', which as the name suggests, is full of old buildings. I'll do it properly next week and visit the castle too.
Other than that, not much else to report. Will write more when I've had a better look around. Also gonna head out around the country when Steve goes to work on Tuesday. He's gonna drive near Glasgow and Dundee, I think, so I'll have a bit of a gander around then.
Sorry about the boring update! A bit tired right now -- went out for Indian. Supposedly Edinburgh's best. Very tasty. Then headed to probably the worst pub I've ever been to. Ha ha. It was called Frankensteins, and was rightly, quite monstrous.
