The ship arrived in Edinburgh this morning, but not near the city. The ship lifeboats and local boats provided ferry service from the ship to shore.
We did not book a tour for this day
because I was concerned about the Tender experience and Linda’s
balance (we have to take a small boat between the cruise ship and the
pier). Plus, the tours offered involved quite a bit of walking and
climbing stairs. Linda suggested that we take a taxi into Edinburgh,
but the city is 45 minutes away – it would be very expensive.
Hence, we stayed aboard the ship.
After breakfast at 7:30 a.m., Linda
went to swim at the Solarium and I watched the Tendering for awhile,
then read my book. At 10:30 a.m., I went to the cabin to update this
journal, review the class syllabus some more, and work on my
presentations.
We went to lunch, and then I came back
to the cabin and worked some more on the presentations. I took a
nap, and then finished my book and took it back to the library and
got another one.
The ship departed from Edinburgh at 6
p.m. We went to dinner, then did some shopping on board. This was a
quiet day of rest, which I needed.
