Edinburgh

FedEx very kindly invited us to Edinburgh for a weekend. Geoff has been as an 8 year old, I had never been. What an absolutely fantastic and beautiful city! I felt a bit ashamed that every weekend and holiday that we have outside of London entails a flight out of the country (or a trip to Babington House) when cities such as Edinburgh are relatively close. We took the train as it was only an hour longer door to door than going via airplane. Very relaxing with lovely views. A man in a kilt was awaiting us on the platform when we arrived. What a reception. In Edinburgh, FedEx had organised dinners in fabulous restaurants and visits to Edinburgh hot spots. We also had lots of time to spend how we wished, Geoff and I walked for hours through the old town. On Friday we spent the day at Gleneagles. Again, absolutely beautiful. We met some very interesting people from lots of different industries and not to forget the people from FedEx whom were very hospitable and friendly (as they are in business too). On Sunday we headed back to London but felt sad to leave the city. A big thank you to FedEx. And a big recommendation for Edinburgh. I hope we will be back at some point.
