"Over the rainbow lies a pot of gold. Across the sea is paradise Shangri-la exists but in my head" ---- ME
The drama queen sits in Edinburgh shivering with fever (hay or what ...i don't know). The fact that she has arrived is proof enough that she didn't miss her flight (hehehe). Anyway, there was drama even in that. At the check-in counter not only was she advised to pay for her luggage (by the way...I has foreseen that) but also asked to carry her bag to the 'Outsized baggage' area. The journey from the check-in desk to the payment section was of about 50 odd steps. As clumsy as her highness is, there were bound to be difficulties in even managing to accomplish that. So I walked swaying from side-to-side with my laptop bag and backpack. I dodged the countless travellers still swaying but the inevitable had to happen.
Ever noticed the metal signposts strewn all over airports that advertise things you do not need or sometimes you do. They tempt you buy holiday packages or the latest perfume in the duty free. Anyway I knocked a few of them over. It was poetry the way they fell one by one nudging the next one to fall...
The entire floor turned around to look at me. EMBARESSING!!!!!!
Well flight happened. I reached. I didn't have to carry my bags any further. The princess was driven to her holiday home...
Edinburgh is a beautiful and complex city at every turn there is something worth capturing in your memory or your camera's. You may be walking on a busy street with vehicles coming at you from every direction. However, you may suddenly turn a corner and the sounds of civilization will be drowned out. I found myself standing in an ancient courtyard wondering how many centuries of history it might have seen. I hadn't seen much today but the bus tour will help me explore a little more.
So here I am shivering with fever, not feeling too good about myself as the dissertation has not been touched!
More cribbing to come!
