Trip to Edinburgh

[MELNEL]

Hiya ☺️ everyone. Anyone know if the city is busy at the moment? I have to travel to Edinburgh tomorrow, German embassy.

I remember that the city been busy to the time regarding to parking. But now unfortunately I can't walk long distances and need to take my wheelchair with us.

Anyone residents who can give advice?

Thank you for taking the time to respond 😊

Yup! Ditch the wheelchair and get a boat, We are up to our knees in flood water, OH, and buy a decent paddle!!

That made me laugh but really it isn't funny. I hope that you are safe xx

[MELNEL in reply to CDPO16]

LOL I know, no worries. Just anxious to go there. I didn't get much info online only know that the prices for bus is outrageous and parking as well. You take care 😃

[tomc in reply to CDPO16]

Yes it is, Especially when you see swans and channel swimmers swimming past your window11

[CDPO16 in reply to tomc]

Flooding is awful tomc, especially when homes and businesses are affected. Love your sense of humour though and hope your home is ok

[MELNEL in reply to tomc]

[MELNEL in reply to Bingo88]

Oh my, that's not good. I just have done a test myself again. To make sure I am alright when going there. There letting in 2 people at the time of an appointment, so it will be not crowded with lots of people, they are very strict. Cheers Brian. 😁

[Bingo88 in reply to MELNEL]

Just take care love and it's such a pain to have to go there for you. Hope it all goes smoothly and its sorted in one visit. Obviously make sure you have everything you need for them

[MELNEL in reply to Bingo88]

Yes, it's quite a trip. It's actually only for the fingerprint and you have to be there. Cheers Brian, will do.

I’m much further north than Edinburgh so don’t know how busy it is, but a friend got back yesterday from a weekend visit and said it is really wet, lots of roads under water and some inaccessible. I hope it all goes well for you.

[MELNEL in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thanks for the tip. I checked where the areas are with flooding, but it's not close to the embassy. So we might have luck. Thanks for letting me know.x

[HungryHufflepuff]

How did it go? I hope you got on ok and it wasn't too busy, or flooded .

[MELNEL in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Hiya, yes all went well, well not all took wrong turn and spend 30 min to get on right direction again. But arrived in time. Could even park in front of embassy. But was still an exhausting journey. Cheers x

[Ergendl in reply to MELNEL]

Glad it went OK for you. Edinburgh is a lovely city, but busy at the best of times, so glad you were able to find a parking space outside the embassy.

[MELNEL in reply to Ergendl]

Thank you. Yes it's nice in Edinburgh to go out for a drink at some weekends. We were surprised that it was not busy at all never been liked this special at lunch time. But the guess because of covid it has changed a bit.

And yes to get parking in front of the embassy was brilliant LOL 😋

Hope you are well? What you been up to?

[Ergendl in reply to MELNEL]

Working on a lot of music and the next book. Still plucking up courage to book a staycation sometime.

[MELNEL in reply to Ergendl]

Sounds you quite busy 😁 nice. You will get there. Best wishes and stay safe.
