2018 - Europe

26 September 2018  Our journey to Edinburgh, Scotland and flight to Munich, Germany went without any problems although there was a few tense moments on the drive to Edinburgh airport. At 5am, on new roads and in the dark, our TomTom decided not to talk to us for some unknown reason. So Julie put on her best TomTom voice and guided us through the ever increasingly busy roads as we travelled closer to the airport.  Trying to find the Avis car drop off point was another nightmare. For some reason there is no signage provided at all to show the 100's of people returning cars to the airport every day where to go. We ended up driving through the Departure Drop Off zone and having to quickly rummage around for a pound coin to get out through the boom gates. Eventually we dropped off the car with no damage as I was able to successfully miss everything for the last 4.5 weeks.   After a 2.5 hour flight, we checked in to our Munich hotel and waited for our friends, Ray and Gael,
