Oof trying to play catch up after missing a day. If you thought that first post was a romp through the days activities in the style of “I did this and then I did that” you’d better hang onto your hats.
Istanbul – supplementary
The Turkish drink mostly tea here, not the thick, sweet coffee they are famous for.
Istanbul Monday
The arrivals process was fairly streamlined but it was still midnight by the time we were looking for a taxi.
Architectural note
Last thing on Edinburgh I promise.
Late at night in Istanbul
Our plane has landed and we’re taxiing to the gate.
Farewell to Edinburgh
We’re back at Edinburgh airport, which is beginning to feel Iike a second home.
It’s all relative
Lemon and Paeroa, the iconic Kiwi beverage, dates all the way back to 1907 – so it’s over a hundred years old.
Saturday, last full day in Edinburgh
Had some vague thought of hiring bikes today but when we woke up to ten degrees and rain, we gave up on that idea.
First day in Edinburgh with all my luggage
Walked to the Royal Palace of Holyrood after breakfast, and did a tour of the Palace with an audio guide that was very good.
Still in Edinburgh Thursday
Made a clever plan this morning to divide and conquer. I would go to the conference, and Simon would head out to the airport to try and track down our lost luggage.
