Right is wrong

Sa var det da dags for det stora ”kraftprovet”. Direkt efter att vi checkat ut tog vi en taxi till Avis, for att hamta var hyrbil. Taxichaufforen var mkt trevlig och pratsam, han undrade om jag kort bil pa vanster sida forut. Nej sa jag, jag har bara kort pa hoger (right) sida. Aah, sa han, ”you must remember that left is right and right is wrong!”

I borjan var jag mkt nervos, efter nagra felaktiga svangar borjade jag betvivla att vi nagonsin skulle ta oss ut ur Edinburgh, men slutligen lyckades vi. Efter ytterligare nagra felaktiga svangar tog vi oss till Roslin, for att se Rosslyn Chapel. Det var mindre an jag trott, men vackert nog att matcha en stor katedral.

Sedan fortsatte vi mot Dryburgh Abbey, en av de kanda klosterruinerna i sodra Skottland. Vi hann ocksa med Jedburgh Abbey, och bor nu ett stenkast fran Melrose Abbey. Den fjarde klosterruinen far vara till en annan gang 🙂

After breakfast we took a taxi to Avis to pick up our rental car. The taxi driver was (as always) very nice and talkative, I could actually understand almost everything he said 🙂 He asked if we were renting a car and I said yes, but only on the right side. So he told me that I have to remember that ”left is right and right is wrong.”

I was extremely nervous at first, as we took a couple of wrong turns, and I didn’t know if we’d ever get out of Edinburgh, but we finally made it. After another couple of wrong turns we got to Roslin to see Rosslyn Chapel. For a small chapel it was very beautiful, with stone carvings to match a cathedral.

After Roslin we went to see three of the Border abbeys, Dryburgh, Jedburgh and Melrose, and that’s about what we had time for today.
