London Day 14
Racist Taxi Driver should be more worried about tourists taking his job than immigrants. Experience! 30-minute "no, im not lost" tour of London to find your hotel! (I gave the exact street address)
In other news; that's now the 2nd hotel internet connection that I've fixed this trip.

UK Day 9 - Edinburgh
Well, the train ride was comfortable enough, despite a small cocktail up with seating arangements.
Also made a mistake regarding the "easy" way to get to the hotel.
C is already complaining about the piper, but I'm in no position to poke that bear.
