We had our lunch at The Orchid, a Thai restaurant somewhere along the way with a couple of friends who met us up.  As the Saying goes... no sex please, we are British... And My saying... No western food please, I am Chinese!  Lol... Our Long Walk at The Fringe Festival  Walked down from the Edinburgh Castle.... Notice my over and over again trademark? Bear with me.. One more....

Military Performance At Fringe Festival, Edinburgh Castle

With the comedian... At
