On our second day in Edinburgh, July 09, 2008, we got up early, had some breakfast, and then went to the Royal Musselburgh Golf Club in Prestongrange House in Prestonpans. We played golf at the Royal Musselburgh Golf Club. That was our first 18 holes in Scotland after a long trip from Switzerland via France and England.

First Day, Edinburgh City, Scotland

You might ask now, how many hours did we travel from Weggis to Edinburgh? I could not possibly remember what time we left Weggis but I know it was early in the morning, between 6am and 7am. I also know that it was about 8 to 9 hours from Weggis, Switzerland to Calais, France where we boarded the boat going to Dover, England.

We arrived in Calais just after 4:00pm and we were able to catch the ferry which was about to leave then, at around 4:20pm. We arrived in Dover just before 4:20pm as well. You may ask why we arrived in Dover at almost the same time we left Calais? Well, it was UK time and UK is one hour behind France. We continued our trip, and stopped in Toddington just after 10:00pm for an overnight sleep. Travel time would then be like 5 to 6 hours from Dover to Toddington, England.

The next day at around 7:25am, we continued our trip, and we arrived in Edinburgh a few minutes before 4:00pm. Travel time would again be like 8 to 9 hours from Toddington, England to Edinburgh, Scotland.

Now, you could more or less estimate the travel time from Weggis, Switzerland to Edinburgh, Scotland.

As I was saying in my last entry, it was a little bit dark when we arrived in Edinburgh, but after just a few minutes, the sun was shining again.
