The wind shook “Bumble Bee” all night long, but when morning broke, the sun was out and the wind dropped off considerably. We had a little of last nights “attitude” left, but that was melting with the help of the sun and a trip into this little town we were in… Berwick-upon-Tweed (aren’t these names just beautiful ???). Unfortunately yesterdays fiasco pushed us past a couple of wonderful sites that we would liked to have taken in, but that was yesterday and this is a “NEW” day. We were heading up to Edinburgh Scotland, about 45 miles distant, and we were taking “A-1”. Fortunately for those of us that wanted to take the “coastal route”, this time A-1 is the coastal route. About half way to Edinburgh we came across a highway marker telling us of a small village at the sea, so we made a U-turn on the A-1 and went back a 100 yards and then headed down this very narrow road. We wondered over hills and valleys, around bends and by small and large farms, and then we came upon this incredible seaside Scottish fishing village called St Abby’s Head. As we came into the village, the main part was on top of cliff and then there was this little single lane road that we could take (providing that no one was coming up) to the small wharf below. Once there, and a lot of pictures taken, we saw this very little outdoor patio serving food. On the menu, it said, if the tables are full or it is raining, we will bring your order on a tray to your car… This was a very nice, but very old looking building. Outside, they had 7 tables that were set up inside of a wall on 2 sides…to keep the wind out… We were lucky that it wasn’t a weekend because we wouldn’t have had a table and that meant we wouldn’t have had our crab sandwich, tea, and scone with jam and whipped cream…. Oh yes, tonight we went into the little village close to the campground and had dinner at one of the little “Pub’s”. For a “starter” we had “Haggis”…mmmm good !!! Tomorrow…Edinburgh (ED’n-burah)
