Last Day Here! No Passport!

OK... first, I will blog about yesterday... that's August 30th... Tuesday... 

We went out at around 10:45 and headed down towards Sir Arthur's! We had planned to hike two hills! The weather was a bit cold and sprinkling. We stopped at a few small museums and then at the Parliament, and started the hike! It was absolutely splendid! Beautiful and lots of trails to explore! We didn't have enough time to go to all the trails. The reason that we didn't have the time was because we had set dinner to be at 6pm with Lily and Duncan, hoping to pick up the passport that was to be sent to their house.

At the top, we get to see the view of the whole city, but it really was the hike that's so worth the time!

We came down by 3 and went to Carlton Hill. That was very disappointing and filled with trash. If I had known, I would have stayed at Sir Arthur's for the rest of the afternoon. We were early and went straight to Lily and Duncan's after getting a dessert and some fruit for them.

Lily had prepared a huge dinner for us! Chicken soup, salad, salmon, rice... everything! We stayed until 9:30 and then walked back to our hostel. All beds were filled and everyone was asleep. So, I didn't try to get the lap top until this morning to block.

Ok... the bad news... no passport! The Royal Postal Service went on strike as soon as Isaiah's housemate had posted the passport. It's been shut and the strike will continue at least until August 31st. We don't even know how we are going to get the passport now! So, Isaiah booked a train ticket to Coventry, pick up the Taiwan passport, and then take the train to London on Thursday early morning and meet up with us at the St. Pancreas International so that we can take the Eurostar to Antwerp! And pray that somehow, the passport will get to Lily and Duncan's and then they will have to mail it back to Coventry, which is our last stop. Or else, Isaiah will have to take another train back up to Edinburgh from Coventry to pick it up as we don't trust the postal service of the UK.

August 31st

Today's plan is to check out from our hostel, wheel our luggage to Lily's store and then start walking around. We still have a few places to visit here around this area. Isaiah will have to go to the train station at 2pm. We will pick up the luggage at 6:30 and go to the bus station. I'll stay with the luggage and hopefully find WiFi to do email and blog, maybe! Our bus is not until 10:25. Everything closes up, so staying up at the bus station won't be too bad!

Daily Lovely Insight:

Daniel was encouraging... God is the sovereign One. He has control of nations and events. So, I will choose to rest when I don't see the way! God will work this out... We will move forward in faith!

Seek Him First!
