FIRST DAYS

The weather is warm this first week - 20‘s and clear, warm nights. I am wondering if all the weather complaints are a local conspiracy to keep visitors away (I will get mine...) lucas is correcting from jetlag one hour at a time, which means he is up and rearing to go at 3.30am on morning one, 4.30 morning two, he has about equalised now. Our Albion Place accommodation is right next to the big Edinburgh soccer ground, so we are Hibernian fans. (when i got on a bus and asked if it went to 'Easter Road, where the Hibernian football stadium is' he replied 'you mean the greatest football team of all time' and insisted I ride for free! The Albion Pl stay is for  2 weeks so we have that time to find and secure long term accommodation. Hence we have been doing an intense tour of the Edinburgh suburbs and trying to work out 'what we want'. The buses are excellent, all the routes go from different points on the edge of the city to the other side through the centre. Because they are frequent and the city is pretty small, one can get from anywhere to anywhere in 1-2 trips and 20-40 mins. We are narrowing it down...
