On our boys side trip to Dublin, which took place on a dull day in Edinburgh, I missed the opportunity to get a photograph of the bridges over the River Forth as we took off in our little puddle jumper and flew parallel to the river for a few minutes.

I just wasn’t quick enough to figure out which direction the plane would take off and once airborne the opportunity had past before I could get the camera out.

Today, as we taxied down the Edinburgh runway on our flight to Newark, I was a little more in tune with what was going on and I spotted the bridges from my side of the aircraft; the wrong side for take off!

However Andrew was in the window seat on the right side so I passed the camera to him and the result is shown below. He made his Daddy very happy 🙂

Looking back at my itinerary, I call it mine as no one else paid much attention to it, we have checked most of the boxes against things we proposed to do.

Not many of my suggestions for places to eat came to fruition but that’s fine. Eating was driven by necessity rather than convenience  and we were not on a culinary tour anyway. I say we were not on a culinary tour but there was the small matter of fish and chip shops; Andrew developed a passion for these British institutions on our last trip to Scotland and so we did manage to fit in at least four meals from “chippies”

Our last day in Edinburgh was supposed to consist of three parts:

• Chambers Street Museum
• Holyrood Palace
• Shopping

National Museum of Scotland
