My flight left on time although we had to wait ages before the gate was posted. Fortunately it was in the A area of terminal % as you have to travel by train to B (10 min) and C 920 min) areas.The flight itself was quite short and actually less time than I spent waiting in the terminal at Heathrow.
It was reasonably full in a single aisle plane, but there was an empty seat next to me. In only 1:25 there was just enough time to get a drink and some crisps.
The trip to Perth from Edinburgh took about 45 minutes through green and rolling country, with the bridge over the Firth, some small hills, villages and a Loch to provide some scenary on the way.
I am staying in a B&B with an ensuite that is only a 5 minutes or so walk to the office. Robert and Maggie are good hosts and she is even putting a small load of washing through for me.
I took that walk to the office and caught up with my friend who is the owner and some other staff. They have a round building on six acres, with a lovely large garden at the back. Everyone but the boss seems to have a view.
One of the staff dropped me in the city centre on his way home and I wandered down to the river Tay.It is quite lovely there with the horse shoe shaped bridge supports looking like frames for the river banks beyond.
Some scenes looked like they should be made into jigsaw puzzles.
There were a handful of trout fishermen casting there lines from the shallows but I didn't see anybody catch anything.
There are many lovely stone buildings here as well and a centre area that is pedestrian only.
After walking around for some time I bought fish and chips for dinner. It was rather generous and probably could have gone close to feeding 2 people.
A bus back to the B&B was only 1.70 pounds. It had free wi-fi but speed test revealed the lowest speed seen anywhere - only 0.3. The B&B on the other hand has over 30mbs, faster than anywhere else on this trip
other than Osaka airport.
