At the beginning of the month I watched the seaweed full sea hoping to swim in it then flew to Scotland for a few days of greenery, old city and whiskey in preparation for the "Mamma Mia" Brad and Bonny 2019 Italy Tour.

Oh no, my final 10 days in Mexico, although great, were virtually swim free do to massive amounts of seaweed in the water. Worst I have seen to date. And a few other oddities caught my attention before leaving too.

Side Story: Ready to check out of my apartment...45 minutes later no landlord? "But I have a flight to catch and need my deposit back...Shit" I wrote landlord to no response. Luckily had gf of landlord's number, wrote her and she arranged for his sister to check me out. Sister arrives with no deposit so I took all the remotes and left them with a friend until the deposit was given to them (1 week later!). I left a little mexican time buffer for the flight which you need a 1 hour bus to get to the airport with no traffic. That was gone so I was on the run. Luckily absolutely everything worked out just in time and I made it!
Up up and away to Scotland for a few days. Hasta luego Mexico!
Holy moly, where da people at on my Tui flight to Glasgow?

Arriving in Edinburgh to realise everything I wanted to see or do was way up. Ah, easy, it's the beginning of the trip, I was charged up on only 3 hours sleep in 36 hours. A few great nights out including a Sunday pub crawl which gave me a good sample of the Edinburgh night life and area. Just don't try to get any food after 2am!
