Day three and it was time to wave goodbye to Capt Nick and his crew after buying a new set of colours at the Electric Parade, visiting John Knox's House and then eating our fill at the Buffet King an eat as much as you can Chinese in Nicholson Street (£5.99 per person I think), Capt Nick laid down the dubloons and we saw them off on the jolly boat to the airport.

The Moff and I then went to the Edinburgh Dungeon to enjoy some of the city's more gruesome past, got £3 off by presenting the vouchers printed on the back of our bus tickets too. Bit too much audience participation for my liking but nothing a scurvy pirate can't handle.

The evening was spent at the Ghandi in East Fountain Bridge, I had a splendid chicken shashlik, sizzling hot with onions and peppers, Moff the Vindaloo and Mrs F the Green Herb chicken plus naans, rice and veg dishes and a bottle of house white all for under £60, lovely it was.

Day four off to the Ocean terminal to see Pirates of the carribbean three, don't know what that was all about? home tomorrow
