Once again, up early and "working" before the others emerged from sleep...

The last day for the boys...

Another excellent breakfast from the EP then off out, over to the top of Leith Walk and up Calton Hill...























This view is Jorg's favourite of Edinburgh...








The viewpoint offered other opportunities too...





This wee monkey was up there with its humans...






The Gensungen Boys...






Don't think I'd ever seen this garden before - though I do have a very vague recollection of having visited it...

Weird...


The quartet...






Down the hill and down Leith Walk, inevitably, stopping in at Vinyl Villains...



...and on, down as far as Elvis Shakespeare, before heading back for a coffee etc at No 30...








Back to Vinyl Villains on the way home and Jorg spent the last of his sterling on Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane...

Back home, one last episode of "Blacklist" and then, to the airport...

Not the best pic but here we are...


And off they went - we will see them next year we hope for Documenta 14 in Kassel...

Back home, and the rooms were quickly reclaimed...




I recorded this week's podcast, including some input from the Germans, while Anne enjoyed "Strictly"...

Some late night viewing re "Red Dwarf" and Zapped"...

"Blacklist" no more...

All over...

Highlight of the Day : Calton Hill views....
