i decided on taking the train instead of flying
plus, some of the travel involved just short journeys.
april 6 i headed to lesceister for a gig.
left from st pancras station - probably one of my most favorite train stations i've been in so far
arrived and did the shoot, then it was back to the lesciester station to head up to birmingham for a change to worcester shrub hill station.
april 7
chilling out in great malvern
april 8
really nice outside, but time to head up to edinburgh via rail
Great Malvern to Birmingham via York to
^^ that fucking dog had a seat. and i didn't.
from york it was hell. i didn't think to reserve a seat so i ended up standing up for the next 4 hours in the entryway with my luggage.
i didn't realize it was a bank holiday weekend.
i did get lots of video of the coast as we neared the end of the trip.

but once i got into edinburgh, everything was better. i like that city - a lot.

april 08 i arrived in edinburgh.
i stayed there for about a week with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aiya - meico wasn't there because he couldn't be bothered to fly his ass from los angeles. something to do with work i guess. so instead, me n debs went out a bunch!
the night i arrived was also dinner night at the one korean joint in all of edinburgh (Shilla) - and one of two in all of scotland.
the same owner has one in glasgow but i've not tried it yet.
amrita showed up (she was visiting scotland with her boy), fiona and baz, jackie (poisonduk ) and roy (princealbert ), david imrie made the trek from glasgow, and i think that's it! (me and ayia too)
fiona giving evil sneer

april 09 went with debs to get groceries.
we didn't buy some, but now i'm thinking i should have
at least to send to the US
Then went to a shoot that evening, and afterwards, met up with ayia and her friends for drinks at the black bull.
quite a bit of drinking was done, but luckily it wasn't me that stumbled on the street.
and since debs was driving, she waited until we shifted the party to hers.
although i ended up in bed early and hangover free the next day! yippee!

The next day, (the 10th), we got up and it was super warm and sunny,
we ended up taking an evening walk for dinner and eating at Nandos
yum! Then we saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D.
the 11th was another sunny and warm day. barrie n fiona came over for a shoot, then we packed up and left to go to theirs.
oh, and that was the day i found out my white catsuit was totally messed up from the model i lent it to last. ugh!!!
the 12th was henna day. tayibah came over and we got started after some tea n snacks.
this time it didn't take up about 5 hours - intead, it took about 4.

that evening was a photographer model meet thing in glasgow so we drove over and then had dinner at that yummy indian place, dhabba
on the 13th, i headed back to edinburgh.
i was craving something fancy so tookayia to dinner at this place i found online - and it was yum
the stockbridge restaurant.
tho she wasn't excited about her pigeon starter, i loved my scallops!
i got some fish thing which was ok, tho i really wanted roe or venison of some kind.
the tripple cho desert was also pretty yum!
And on the 14th, Debs dropped me off at EDI for my flight to Amsterdam.
Just in time to miss the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull
