Sunday 25 September 2022--Getting from here to there...tram to the airport, flight to Edinburgh, tram into town. I'm headed to Seahouses and would go straight there today, if the transportation were more straightforward. I'm okay with laying over at a relatively inexpensive hotel just out back of Waverley Station. My room has a nice view of the street being torn up by construction equipment. Snooze a bit, then get dinner at a pub on the Royal Mile--I could tell you which one, but it doesn't really matter. Then settle in at the Bow Bar, my favorite pub in town. Find myself sharing a table with an Irish couple, and enjoy some banter. The lad keeps buying me drams, and won't let me reciprocate. Presently it becomes apparent that his wife is a wee tad tipsy, and they leave rather abruptly. I told you it's my favorite pub in town.

There's a BrewDog pub near my hotel, and I stop in for a nightcap. I've mentioned before that I'm put off by BrewDog's we're-too-cool marketing, but I have to admit the Hazy Jane IPA is pretty good.
