At the final destination....at least for now ;)

Take-off on Monday morning Sept. 3rd, flying to Edinburgh thru Manchester. What a trip! (and not in a good way...) The flight from Helsinki went fine, arrived in time at the airport in Manchester - thats where the fun started... First of all, know that Manchester airport is not big, and there's not much to do there. Then picture a couple of Finnish girls stuck at the airport for 5 hrs!! Bored to death before our adventure had even started...! When we finally got to board our plane for Edinburgh, we just had to cross our fingers and hope that the plane would take us to our destination - which it eventually did! :) (the plane was smaaaall, a propeller one...scaaary!)

We arrived in Edinburgh about 2,5 hrs late, had to drag our luggage from the UK arrivals to the international arrivals hall, where some guys from UAD awaited us... our good luck continued - we just missed the previous bus, by like 3 minutes! Oh well, fortunately Edinbrugh Turnhouse had some cafés and shops, so we kept ourselves entertained - as well as everybody else :) So if you saw or heard three giggly Finns in Turnhouse on Sept. 3rd, that was us! Busted!

Finally got to leave the airport at about 5.20 pm, the bus drove us up to Hillside, where we lived for the first night - but that's a chapter in itself! ;)
