Overground, Underground and The Fry-Up - Edinburgh and Islay
Overground, Underground and The Fry-Up
Monday 3rd September 2007
Spent the daytime in the city centre, starting with a general wander around, and then went on a tour of some underground passageways towards the end of the afternoon. In the evening went back to the flat for dinner, and had a bit of a fry-up which was suprisingly fun.
Edinburgh and Islay

|
| 10:18:23 Chie on a bus from Leith into the city centre - I think we were both rather taken with these tartan seats. | 10:18:35 Me looking a bit dazed on the bus, sitting beside Vera. | 10:46:06 I rather liked what they did with the National Gallery here, to mark the Andy Warhol exhibit. |

|
|
| 12:32:45 Up close on those soup cans. | 12:32:49 ...and again... | 12:33:25 ...and one with Chie on. |
|
|
|
| 12:36:43 A random picture taken by the side of the National Gallery, looking up to the castle. | 15:40:09 Later on in the afternoon, taken en route to the guided walk Chie and I were going on. | 15:44:16 I love these passageways... |
|
|
|
| 15:44:47 ...and they usually offer nice views as well... | 15:44:55 Me and my new jumper. | 15:44:59 ...and again... |
|
|
|
| 16:25:53 On the underground tour now (the vaults...?). So lots of pictures of underground passageways, for which I won't attempt to write comments.... | 16:32:48 | 16:36:56 |

|
|
| 16:41:19 | 16:41:37 Seemed to be having serious focus problems here! | 16:44:46 |
|
|
|
| 16:53:07 Lots of these rooms were used as wine cellars at one time or another - but alas none used for whisky storage as far as we were told. | 19:23:21 Back at the flat, Vera and Chie making dinner (I took a more supervisory role). | 19:23:35 ....this was a lot of fun! |
|
|
|
| 19:47:03 Some explanation going on here. | 20:01:54 I love this picture - Vera was very keen on having some HP sauce with her fry-up but there wasn't any in our otherwise very well stocked flat. So after a few not-so-subtle hints, I dashed out to the nearest shop (which wasn't that near it turned out) to buy a bottle. | 23:45:09 Me looking at the Islay map I bought today, in preparation for the remainder of our holiday... |
