We woke up this morning and got most of our things packed up before heading down to the tube with Hinn. We caught it up a few stations and went to a pub called to White Horse. We got a table and ordered some lunch and a beer, then ate and chatted together over a yummy lunch. (Mmmm honey fig and goats cheese salad!) After lunch it was time to say goodbye, as Hinn was heading out to go shopping, so we gave him hugs goodbye then the two of us headed back on the tube...

When we woke up today, we showered and got ready to go out, then ended up just hanging out for ages. We sent out a Facebook message for any London people to try catch up with people today as it would be our last full day of the trip, then just stayed on the couch for ages trying to work up the motivation to head out!

I woke Darren after a while and he got ready and we finished packing, and discovered a message from Jess M saying they were thinking of do...

After a ****** feverish fluey sleep I woke up in the afternoon and had a cup of Lemsip to start my year off! After browsing through the many Happy New Year statuses on Facebook, we discovered that our friend Jess (Sail Croatia, London) had been in Edinburgh for New Years as well! And didn't even tell us!
