EDINBURGH DAY 1 - PT 2


This will be a short post to catch up Edinburgh.

Last seen downing cocktails with TE10 before their 5:30 dinner call, We4 adjourned
to The Schooner bar for more Happy Hour with Super-Waiter XXX and his generous pours.  He really has mastered Chucky’s Bone dry Dewar’s Rob Roy…oooohhh soooo good.

Dinner was another exercise in “let’s see what mystery comes outta the galley tonight.”  Donna was not taking any chances having previously arranged with Revellino the Head Waiter to get a bowl of Bolognaise Ragu, Lenny tried the Fish and Dragon Granny also tried the Fish.  Chucky wasn’t hot on anything on the menu but tried the Mushroom soup that was OK, and then some linguini with a side of the Bolognaise and some grilled shrimp.  Dessert was another challenge for the pastry department as the Crème Brulee came out like soup with little caramelized sugar topping.  The substitute cheese cake was no better.  This is really becoming disappointing.

Cocktails in the Casino and then to the Schooner for piano bar stuff with Enselmo, a fabulous entertainer with a 3 octave range and a repertoire that is expansive.

Of course when he tried some Bobby Darin [Mack the Knife] We4 coaxed Chucky to get up with Enselmo and sing it the right way, albeit a bit gravely ala Louis Armstrong as his throat was having the usual issues.

Nightcaps in hand We4 headed to their cabins as Chucky and DL had an early tour to the Edinburgh Castle and roundabout Edinburgh.

More on that tomorrow.  This is 4 days behind and after a rigorous tour in great weather, it’s time to crash.

Ciao 4 Now
Uncle Chuck & The unhappy with the menu,
Dragon Lady
