Edinburgh is like an Escher painting, it seems wherever you go, you are always walking uphill..

Yeah the underground town is worth a look , also the castle. If the weather's nice, the Camera obscure.
As said most of the pubs in the historical areas are good. Royal Mile, Princes St etc.

Also, if Wetherspoons is your bag The Caley Picture House is probably the nicest one I have been in

Reminded me we haven't been to Edinburgh for many years.
The Grassmarket was good for eateries when we last went.
If you have the time and inclination, a visit to Rosslyn Chapel is interesting, about 30 minutes out of town.

2 recommendations from me.
1.The day trip to the Bridge Over the River Kwai is quite moving.
2. Don't go when Kevin Muscat decides to completely derail your promotion. It put a real downer on the late evening

Thankfully won't be travelling back in time before we go

Had a cracking break in Prague last week, great history, great architecture and a beer culture to match anything over here.

A long time ago now (2009), but we stayed here https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel...Chatrium_Hotel_Riverside_Bangkok-Bangkok.html

Great location, good value, spectacular breakfast.

If that’s a nightclub, I’m more of a traditional Czech restaurant with an accordion player nowadays.

Decided to treat the wife to a bit of winter (well late autumn) sun last week. Went to Madiera, really liked the place, a bit of a different vibe to other destinations we've been. Warm and sunny most of the week, chilled atmosphere, had some great, inexpensive food, especially fish, discovered Poncha! Think we'll go back at some stage.
