I have arrived

Here I am sat in my room in Edinburgh, it's a four bedded room but no sign of my room mates yet and it's almost 10.30pm. I hope they are not going to come back roaring drunk, ha ha.

Half way through my packing and Bugsy decides he wants to come with me, sorry Bugs, you wouldn't like the journey, it's a long way.

It was a steady journey up, no rush, even though I had a late start due to me being so disorganised, and having to go to PC World for a Users Manual for this. I needn't have bothered, the man behind the desk looked at me as though I was a bit simple, they don't include the manual, you have to download it from the web site in PDF. Well I didn't know. How daft, you are supposed to have access to another computer to get the information you need.

I had better stop waffling, my room mates have just walked in, and they won't want to be up all night while I finish this. I came off the A1 and took the coast road for a while. I stopped to look over the sand dunes. Not sure where this is. A few miles down the road and I turned for Holy Island. The tide was out so I was able to drive onto it. There is a car park which they hope everybody uses because they don't want the place clogged up with cars. It cost £2.40, but as it was 4.30pm I didn't think it was worth paying that for half an hour, so I turned round and drove back.


This is Bamburgh Castle, I stopped in the car park and took the photo, no time to look around.

Next stop was Eyemouth, a quaint little fishing village, almost a town I think. A stroll around the harbour was nice.

I am not altogether happy with this hostel, there is no parking, and my car is on the road outside. I have to move it by 8.30am in the morning, or I get a ticket. It's a bit risky to leave it too long, I just hope it won't get broken into. I have to change rooms tomorrow night as well, a bit inconvenient. So I will be up early and out, to find another place to park. I am going off this place a bit.

By the way, I saw myself on the TV tonight, only one money saving tip, seems they have more than enough scrimpers now.
