Day 4 – Edinburgh – Afternoon

Friday, December 31st, 2004

I’m SO TIRED. My feet ache like I can’t believe. I just stopped at a Boots and paid an exorbitant (when changed to dollars) amount for some arch supports before my feet just die.

My flight arrived on time yesterday. Both times I've flown BA, in flight they've said that we would get to London half an hour early. Both times, we've missed and been on time. Don't tease me like that! This time, ... [Continue reading this entry]
