Edinburgh

Had a day in Scotland today. The City of Edinburgh. The City has a great feel, a vibe very similar to Wellington.  It was my first time here and the City really is stunning with its Edinburgh Castle backdrop.

Edinburgh

I didn’t get a chance to have a good look around but Edinburgh is definitely up there on the list of places to come back and explore.

There’s a fun team in the local office.  I’ve met most of the people before during sales training in Brighton earlier in the year.  A neat thing about this road trip is building relationships with the people in each office, often meeting them for the 3rd time.

Last night in London we had dinner in a ‘hip place of the week’ underground restaurant called Hakkasan.  It was put together by the Waggamamma’s people. We walked down a narrow alley, to a small sign, where a stunning receptionist checks you off on the list - to see if you’re worthy -and then you go down the impressive stairs into a huge, very trendy space.  It was like a tardis as the building did not look that big at all. 

Outside there was a Rolls Royce Phantom, with it’s engine on, idling for 3 hours. Very rockstar.
