After security I looked through the local papers but could only find one with a small article. I realised that it was about a press conference and that they mentioned Paul quite a lot!
George and Paul were on the same flight of course so we could ask Paul directly what he had been saying at that press conference that George didn't turn up to. :-)
Paul even decided to sit in our row and we spent the whole 3 hours of the flight chatting -- probably much to the annoyance of other passengers that wanted some peace and quiet!
In London we had to change planes for Edinburgh and after quite a bit of confusion and getting lost we still had an approx. 1.5h wait which we spent talking some more, even though George was sleeping most of the time. ;-)

In Edinburgh, Kristine and I went straight to our hotel and got ready for the club. We were still early and even after 1AM the place was not directly packed. It had a nice, alternative atmosphere though. The Scots are such a fun people, everybody was obviously enjoying themselves and getting very drunk!
When George had to finish because the club had pulled the plug the crowd kept chanting "one more tune" which was cute! :-)

Trying to get a cab at 3AM on Victoria Street proved a difficult task, and in the end Helga asked a mini cab driver if he would take us. The man looked more like a bodyguard, very professional but kindly agreed to drive us to our hotels. When he overheard us talking he asked whom we had been to see that night and then said that just 20 minutes ago he had driven George & entourage to their hotel! LOL So many coincidences! It's a small planet indeed. :-)

Sunday  The hotel made us check out at 9:45 already! I saw Kristine off and walked around in search for breakfast. My train was at 1. I tried to rebook it, but it would have been too expensive. Later I found out that Kristine and Helga had met Paul and George at the airport again and have had coffee together! Grrr... Well, at least my absence had been noted. LOL
