Dundee; Saturday, 24 August, 2013

Having solved the problem of an earlyish flight by staying overnight at the Travelodge just down the road from the airport it was a short walk to the terminal building and a very quick journey through an almost deserted London City Airport to the departures lounge.

Having left it until less than an hour before departure to head down to the airport I only had a very short time to wait before we were called to the gate.

After a comfortable flight, on a pretty small plane, we touched down in Dundee on time. A quick taxi ride to the centre and having dropped my luggage off at the hotel I went for a long wander around the city.

Having checked into the hotel I then wandered across the car-park to the Discovery Point Centre and the RRS Discovery ship to have a look around them.

Then, following the handily produced guide to the heritage of Dundee, I went on a walk around the key architectural sights in the city centre, taking regular stops at a number of café’s round the route as I dived for cover from the next heavy downpour.

Eventually I headed back to the hotel before having to head back out to the nearby supermarket as the restaurant wasn’t able to serve any food.
