We arrived in Edinburgh after a short 6 and a half hour flight; we had a 150 mile an hour tail wind and landed about 40 minutes early. We hopped a taxi to our B&B, the Lairg, which was about two miles west of the castle and the main part of downtown. Usually we check on whether the place has an elevator or lift and on this one we goofed; the room was on the third floor. Ironically it was the number 2 room, but for some reason they started the numbering at the top and worked down to number 10 … strange … I guess that’s from driving on the wrong side of the road too long, eh. The room was large for European standards and had two queen sized beds. After our spoiled life in the RV the three channels of TV and no wi-fi capability left us wanting a bit more of the conveniences. The afternoon we arrived, we took the tour bus ride around the town to get oriented and to ward off the jet lag but pooped out early.
