I looked at KLM and they want E416 for a one way! EasyJet is only operating 1 flight to A'dam on July 6 in the afternoon.

The plan originally was to fly into Schiphol on July 1. But now that we are not going to Rotterdam, the UK is more appealing. So the itinerary looks like it will be London July 2 - 4, Edinburgh July 4 - 5 and A'dam 5 - 12. So it looks like I will only have 1 night in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh kicks ass, love the old buildings and went on many a ghost/haunted tour stoned and had a wicked time, although most of the time im there i prefer to drink down in the bars of leith

Looks like the plan is to arrive in A'dam the morning of July 2, take the late KLM flight to Edinburgh and return the morning of the 6th.

So over the last few weeks my plans have took a turn for the works. Starting off with my brother losing his job and moving back in.

So it was down to just me and my m8. Then over the weekend that he probably would not be going!

So it's just down to me

To keep my m8 happy I agreed not to visit Edinburgh & London without him. Over the last 48 hours I had to cancel hotel reservations and make new bookings. Thankfully I was holding out for a last minute sale and had not purchased flights. I found a round trip to Frankfurt for $1,050 today. That is $400 dollars cheaper than flying direct. I then booked a return ticket to Schiphol for $100, still saving some money. So to make a long story short, I won't get to meet as planned. I will make it next summer with or without him

Peace,
Balou

Too Bad Balou, was looking forward to giving you the grand tour

Still, enjoy the Dam, and I'll see you next year

I am absolutely gutted about the whole thing. I was looking forward to the tour myself! And Cisco's pictures have not helped.

Enjoy your trip too.
