Our arrival

Our arrival was thankfully, and perhaps surprisingly, uneventful. Alette, Japhur and I have settled in quite nicely to our flat that is small (but bigger than anticipated) and actually does have a view of the castle.

We started in Ottawa on Wednesday, and dropped off Japhur at Air Canada Cargo 4 hours ahead of time.















David and Denice then brought us back to the airport where we checked in,















and met up with both Pat and Tanya (our friends who are living in Sydney, Australia for a year), and Mike and Jane (friends on their way for a two month European vacation). Mike and Jane were also on our flight.

After a flight filled with watching Ironman and Caddyshack, we arrived in London on Thursday. We spent the day in London and then undertook the long drive to Edinburgh the following day. Since obtaining the keys to our flat we've basically been settling in, buying a few necessities (including food) and looking for a long-term let starting October.

More updates to come.
