We were staying on the Edinburgh CC site last week and decided to use the local bus service to get into town. After a long walk to the bus stop a mere £8.50 for a family ticket gave us all day bus and tram travel, had a great day in their city. Then about 8pm it was time to go back to the site, it was a guess as to what stop to get off as it was very dark but I was sure it was the right stop. passing a bin I discarded the contents from my pockets that I had gathered during the day which included the bus ticket, though I didn't know that at the time. A short walk to the roundabout where we caught the bus but it didn't look right, we could not see the stop we departed from so believed we had got off at the wrong stop. Must be the next roundabout I said. About a mile walk with bags of shopping a two tired kids we approached another roundabout, no not this one and no bus ticket, we were lost! A parked up bus over the road we went over to ask him if he knew where the CC site was, he told us it was off the roundabout at the end, the one I thought is was in the first place. The thought of walking all the way back and then another half mile to the site was starting to show on my face. I explained to the driver about the ticket but probably because it was getting late with 2 young children in tow he offered to drive us back to the first roundabout, what a gentleman and it restored my faith in humanity.
