Is that called a Scottish Mullet?

 

[Pushka]

Ah! We had wondered if they had allowed you entry to Scotland!

I think it’s the ones leaving they try stop.

Owe ya again Denali

 

[Denali]

He's with Vodafone so he has $5 per day global roaming....except UAE.

Our walk took us to the castle, crowds are crazy.

Current situation. Radison Blu spa. I forgot what I booked and when they said foot scrub and massage and neck, back shoulders massage I could have cried. We both need this.

View from the castle, before you enter.

“complaintacy” indeed!

Buy him a 3sim immediately.

 

[Denali]

Opps. Complacency.

I have 3 sims, which I bought from sim corner before we left but I forgot the paper clip thing to open/put in sim during flights.

Note to Roo. Pack small paperclip.

Just find one of the free sewing kits and use the needle in that.

Hilton Carlton Edinburgh trying to downgrade our room.

Currently sitting in the room they're offering, told them not acceptable so give me the room I booked. We've been showing online upgrade to suite for a while now but now we can't get suite (fair enough) or the original room we booked.

When I checked in I was told that no breakfast, even though it's on our booking confirmation.

Trying to think happy thoughts but I want a shower and rest.

PM me, can speak to the sales director. BTW, there's not really any "suites" there

 

[Denali]

And now... When you follow the room signs, the elevator is out so have to trek up and down a spiral staircase each time to access/leave the room.

Spoken to duty manager and waiting for his return. No idea where our bags are.

All I want is a shower. Hilton Carlton not winning any votes from me so far.

Is that Szimon?

Duty manager Gordon.

 

[Denali]

On the plus side, hiking up and down hotel hallways, stairs and ramps, ive done 12k steps!

And my fitbit thinks I've died and someone else owns it now.

 

[Flashback]

Duty manager Gordon.

Sounds like a new guy, never met Gordon before. I'm happy to make a few calls if that helps?

 

[Denali]

Thank you very much but we came to a deal. What I would call a studio room plus points. Duty manager got our bags, I asked him how much fun was it going up and down the spiral staircase

We were going to go out but I think we're bunkered in for the night now. Manager offered restaurant dinner but that will involve me dressing up a bit and I'm happy to relax in room.

Hot showers and relax, tomorrow new adventure begins

Very good! Jog around the corner to Whistle Binkies, some great live bands if you're up for it Let me know also if you want Exec Lounge access, although to be honest it's pretty tiny so not really worth it! I've skip the MPW restaurant, there's so many great places around there. Ping me if you want a few tips.

 

[Denali]

Many thanks and greatly apprecaited. We got lounge access but hubby asleep already so will miss out on free food hour - hes done as well. Its been a long day so rest and tomorrow will be all good!

I even bought him a memory foam contour pillow from Argos. Strange concept for a store but it works, hubbys been there twice already.
