I'm baaaaaack!

I'm kinda back online, and I'm going to make this short and type more later, the wireless Internet here is terrible. I made it safely and with no problem to Edinburgh, made it to my hotel (about 1.4 miles south of the train station, by bus thank God). Overall it's a good place. It's quiet, but it's next to the street, single pane windows so I can hear street noise pretty well. I slept alright last night, but a police of ambulance siren woke me uparound 8 am or so.

So many problems with the Internet connection, it's very spotty, partially because British Telecom doesn't have the best service, partially possibly because this is an older building and there are probably thick floors/walls that are causing some interference. But anyway, I am safe, and survived the Edinburgh bus system.
