Accommodation
We are arriving on Friday June 30th. Matt's leaving on Sunday and Caroline's leaving on Monday. Marc's staying until Wednesday because he's skiving off work up there.
The accommodation has now been booked and we are staying at the Edinburgh Euro Hostel, which is essentially a cheap-skate's paradise, but I suppose we can make do on this one occasion. We are each staying in a single room (same price as half a twin room, so won't have to put up with any snoring, especially from Marc ;-) ), but we have to share a bathroom with a bunch of strangers. Remind me to set my alarm clock extra early (you? getting up early? i suppose miracles do happen...) so that I can get in there before the masses descend. The prices are as follows:
- Friday night - £25.95
- Saturday night - £25.95
- Sunday night - £19.95 (scarily cheap - are bed bug alarm bells ringing with anyone here?!?)
A 10% deposit has already been paid (£19.56) with the remainder (£176.04) due on arrival.
