Today we left for Edinburgh from our B&B, Beinn Dheargh. When we checked out,our host wanted us to compensate £30 for two umbrellas that we left at the Brodie castle. Oh my...that's like S$90 for two brollies lah!!! Of course we offered we wouldn't want to pay for it, thus offering to get it back for her, but she claimed her husband's passing through the castle & we're able to save that cast. And our roadtrip to Edinburgh began.

Upon arrival ot the Belford, Edinburgh, our host told us we're able to obtain free parking at a street nearby. As soon as we parked our car & about to leave, our car was struck by a passing car. The side mirror was hit out of place, Xuan & I chased after the driver, she didn't stop but we soon caught up with her coz of the red-light. She ignored us, refused to leave her car. Surprisingly, I opened the passengers side door as it was unlocked, told the driver to come out but she just shrugged off not admitting to her fault. What a bitch! Soon she drove off, with her kids grinning away. I called the police & they took a million years to arrive, & we missed visiting the Van Gough Gallery & Edinburgh Castle tour (only got an outside view).

We just circled the roads around the castle & headed for dinner at a nearby place. We headed back to the hostel after dinner. The night scenery is beautiful. As we were walking back, this teen came up to Isa & scared all of us, with 2 of his friends grinning away. Seriously, how sick can they be? They are seriously troubled teens with nothing better to do, sitting along the streets drinking away.

Anyway, we got back to the hostel with one more scare by a passing car, honking us (or me...can't tell). Seriously!!! How I miss Leuven, Belgium...it's a much more friendly & safe place to live in. What a day!
