Edinburgh
On a birght, clear Saturday, the students
left Oxford behind and made their way north to Scotland. The long journey
and the comfortable coach allowed time to enjoy the ever changing landscape,
ranging from the industrial midlands, the lake district, the Cumbrian
mountains, the borders region of Scotland and finally the new "digs"
at the Edinburgh hostel. While not as intimate as the Oxford hostel,
the Edinburgh accommodation provided a central location, classroom space,
spacious lounge areas and an internation atmosphere (and did I say lots
and lots of stairs?). |
