AWOL in Edinburgh and New York
August 16th, 2008
Back in Edinburgh and you'll notice I just got posting again after a busy month.
A couple of weeks ago I visited New York on vacation - what a mad city that is. I hadn't been there since 2001 - it was just as hectic as I remembered but much hotter. (Last time we visited in May). I thought I may have lost weight after walking around site-seeing for 5 or 6 hours every day but the New York food put paid to that....too much cheesecake I think
Since returning home, I've been involved in the Edinburgh tourist industry - doing a bit of admin work for my friends who run a holiday letting agency Edinburgh-flats.com They rent self-catering appartments to visitors from all over the world and so they spend a lot of time preparing the accommodation and meeting and greeting guests. Just now it is hectic, because we are bang in the middle of the Edinburgh festival.
Also it's now time to work on my fitness again - as I have not done much since doing my 5K race on 1st June. It's back to yoga and walking this time - luckily Edinburgh is built on 7 hills so walking ANYWHERE in the city gives you a good work out.
