Monday October 7 - Saturday October 13
What did we do for a full week in Edinburgh? A very good question! For the life of me, I can't seem to recall. It involved work (actually, rather a lot of work on two papers-- now accepted!), bike repair, movie watching, flat hunting with Elise, tent waterproofing, a complete change in travel plans (flying to Antalya, Turkey rather than training to Wales... just a slight difference), going out for drinks at one of the many watering holes around town, going for coffee at on of the many coffee holes around town, OH, and wasting 5 hours of our lives getting not haircuts from practicing hair dressers.
Our snap decision to fly to Turkey at the end of the week was just that, a snap decision. We snapped when the train ride to Wales cost more than the flight to Turkey. For those with poor geography, that 500km vs 4500km!! Not to mention the weather in Turkey: 30C, warm, sunny, amazing! We've had enough to damp molding gear.

 |
| A little sight seeing in Edinburgh. Deceiving sun was not warm, but windy and cold. |
 |
| Edinburgh is big on coffee joints, and cakes! We approve. |
 |
| Elise enjoys the iPad Mini at one of the local coffee places. |
 |
| Preparing our illustrious Ikea bags for the plane ride to Turkey. |
 |
| These things are amazing. Also, I'm sad that I had to leave that stolen hoodie in Edinburgh. Turkey here we come! |
