6 October - Scotland

Arrived a bit bleary-eyed but it was nice to be back in an English speaking country. We were surprised after returning from the land of free sex and drugs, that we just breezed through customs on arrival!

Slowly cruised up the coast to Edinburgh. We were planning to overnight along the way, but now desperate to get the van up on ebay for sale, we were again having difficulty finding an internet cafe. So we drove on through. Arrived around 5:30pm and stumbled on a brand new cafe in Edinburgh. Listed van, and bombarded the poor subscribers with millions of updates from our lack of internet access yet again! (sorry folks!)

The we met up with Brett and his friend Antony over from Dublin for the weekend. Went out on a pub crawl, which was great fun. Antony was a hoot. Such a crazy travller guy. We all had some great philosophical travel discussions over many beers. It was a great night. Brett showed us all the great local haunts in the classy parts of Edinburgh. He also gave us directions to a lovely quiet park to park the van and sleep the night!
