Once there, we didn't go inside but took pictures of the building and the "bat-signals" (normal lights with a bat symbol spray painted on the outside!).
Because we had to check out and catch a train we couldn't stay long but we fit in a few minutes to play in the fluffy freshly fallen snow. It's only the second day we've had snow on this trip.
After a rushed breakfast and grabbing out bags we did a very painful 15 minute speed walk to the train station and made our train with about 1 minute to spare. To close for comfort.
It's less than 5 hours from Nottingham to Edinburgh and the train ride is quite nice even though we had to changes. The countryside is beautiful. For most of the way it was snow covered and then slowly as we got near the sea it turned green again.
Because there is no real border or change between England and Scotland my first sign of being somewhere else was the accent change. It's awesome! I do love a Scottish accent, it makes me feel like I'm talking to Sean Connery, and how cool would that be??
Our hostel was by far the easiest to find of any we have stayed in and it is very close to the train station. It also has included breakfast which is always a plus.
Once checked in we had food, did laundry and played Jenga.
Early to bed means I have a greater chance of getting Chad up at a reasonable time.
