We thought that being outside of London that things would be less expensive but boy was I wrong. It cost 76 pounds for us to stay in the hostel, yikes that is more than we paid in London which was much nicer. We had a bunch of kids from Germany stay in the hostel and they played their techo music for most of the time they were there, even first thing. That music has not changed since I was in Germany a lifetime ago.
The people here are very nice and accommodating which is very nice, however it is hard to understand them with there accents.
Another lesson learned on the way from London on the train was to prebook your tickets which we did and we wanted the seats facing each other, however again we were disapointed to find out that we were not in the seats that we wanted. Good news though is that we did snag what we wanted and so all was good again.
Here are two pictures that we took over the last couple of days. One was from the train the other was from our walk into the city centre.
I am sitting here in a pub with one of the few places that has free internet access having a coffee waiting for the girls to come home from their pony treking at the Loch Ness, I hope they are having a grand time.
Well that is all I have to say right now, please contact us if you want to know more or if you just want to chat.

HI Mike
There will be many more thing to learn before you are done and maybe you have the accesnt and they can't understand.
September 14/09 Hello Mike, Jane, Josephine and Emily. We are enjoying glorious weather, just what the farmers need. I cleaned my bedroom window -- hopefully it will not rain on it within the next little while. Enjoy your comments, pictures, etc. Keep all this coming. If you run out of money, perhaps you could let me know as well. Everything is costly in Europe, but as long as you enjoy your time there, that is all that counts. Stay well, happy, and keep on writing. aunt L
