This morning marked the last day with the 1 Battalion Royal Irish Regiment. The morning began with some final last minute packing, and some paper work with HQ. After saying my good byes to the lads who had not left for leave, I headed with L/Cpl. Shaw on the long road to Scotland.
We reached Edinburgh at about 1530, and L/Cpl Shaw left me off at a bus station where I would be able to take a taxi to the train station. After reaching the train station, I booked my ticket to Alexandria and then made a call to my mate Billy Jordan to let him know what time to expect me. However that wouldn't take in to account that I got completely lost in the train station and missed my train.
After the small delay, I headed on the train, first to Glasgow and then on to Alexandria. I was relieved to see Billy's smiling face as I got of the train, and from there we headed to his home in Alexandria.
Billy and Carol had prepared a wonderful BBQ for me, and I was able to meet all the family including Billy's son Morgan, Carols daughter Samantha and son Glenn, as well as Billy's brother.
