Straight after getting back from Scandinavia we decided it was time to bite the bullet and purchase a campervan. Along came 'Cedric' the Citreon camper, quickly found on Gumtree.com, and later named by our friend Stu Badhair from Brisbane. Cedric is a crappy old van. There are mamny bad things about him: rusty, no shower, loud, etc.. but his engine rocks. So off we went in August on our first Campervan road trip to the land of male skirts, black alcoholic drink and that weird thing called haggis. Glad to report that we did not try any of those things. Spent a few nights at a camping ground near Edinburgh. The city was packed, being the last weekend of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but that meant some free things to see on the main streets. We then checked out Edinburgh Castle, the 'scotch museum' (an excuse to buy expensive whiskey), went up to a beautiful coastal town called St Andrews (where Prince Willam apparently went to Uni at), and dropped in on a scottish boarders town (yes, the series of towns boarding England) called Melrose on the way home for one night. Overall the trip was greeet. Oh except for that cup of coffee we got at the actual boarder crossing from Scotland to England coz we were so cold. It cost us 1 pound ( A$2.50 ) and it was a cup of hot water and instant coffee powder. Hmmmm
