July 22. Rainy and cold Edinburgh To make sure I had clean clothes until the end of the trip, I made an early run to the laundromat. One less thing to worry about! While I was at the laundromat, Ellie slept and (slowly) got ready. By the time I got back we were both ready to go. We have been traveling for over two weeks and we have had very little rain or cold. That changed today. There was a steady downpour all day long and it even got a little cold by...

July 21. Bergen to Edinburgh, Scotland. We got going early to the Bergen airport. We made sure we had time to stop at our favorite convienience store/ cafe, Deli Di Luca, and get some coffee and treats for breakfast. We also had to say goodbye to our favorite Deli Di Luca manager, Joaquim. He is a credit to his store. We had a 10:15 flight to Oslo. We then had to wait a couple of hours in Oslo for our respective planes to take off. Thankfully all of our l...

London Day 16 Our last day in London. We went back to Leceister Square to go to a comic book store that was having a Dr. Who event Ellie wanted to check out.

One of the cars had the royal flag on top and a women in it who looked a lot like the Queen Elizabeth. We later learned that it was Queen El...

London Day 15 Our last full day in London! Our day did not start out that well as we locked the key in the flat. Thankfully our Airbnb host, Alessandro, is a great guy and was able to get in and get the key for us. We still had one thing left on our "must-see" list to cross off and we did that today. We are disciples of Rick Steves and his European guidebooks. In many of his books he has walking tours of certain sections of cities. We had done most of his ...

London Day 14 Today we visited the Making of Harry Potter Experience at Warner Brother's Studio London. It was located about twenty miles north of London so we had to take a train and not the Tube. We got a little confused about which train to take out of Euston Station and ended up taking the long route (fifty minutes vs. fifteen). Our ticket's entrance time was for 9:30 and we did not end up getting to the studio until after 10:00. We were a little nervou...
