Once off the train at Waverley Station I only had to ask someone 'which way is south' and I was on my way and at Trystan's front door in under ten minutes easy walking. Trystan's brother Andrew offered a very warm welcome and I was soon at home in my own room (immediately above their restaurant) steps from a well-supplied kitchen and handy bathroom. Before supper at the restaurant, I went for my first walk-about in central Edinburgh and found I was within easy walking distance of more historic places than one could visit in a year. Edinburgh Castle was no more than fifteen minutes away. Back at their restaurant (Palm Paradise) for my evening meal I enjoyed the best vegetable curry dish I have ever had, for half-price no less. The Caledonian IPA was also very good.
I was concerned re dropping off, what w my room over top a restaurant w entertainment including a drummer, but w earplugs in place I dropped off in five minutes. Sound sleep, followed by a good breakfast. A1, I say.
