Having arrived back from Singapore recently (with jet-lag killing me much more than usual this trip) I managed to bag a precious night out with MrsTravelFreak while calling on granny to entertain the JuniorTravelFreaks.
We were all set for an afternoon of shopping (MrsTravelFreak’s idea) and drinking (my idea) along with a fancy meal out in Auld Reekie (Edinburgh for the uneducated), when we discovered that there was engineering works on the railway line and that a bus replacement service was in operation. I despise travelling by bus and I despise the fact that ‘they’ had to pick this weekend to perform the engineering works. I mean, well really! After some discussion with Mrs TravelFreak we agreed that Dundee was the only real option available to us.
I don’t know a lot about Dundee really other than:
- It’s cold
- Dundonians (people from Dundee) call roundabouts ‘circles’ which is a little weird
- There are always, always roadworks happening right in the middle of the city
We left the train station and found ourselves in the middle of a building site. Having eventually found somewhere for MrsTravelFreak to shop, I decided it was time for an afternoon libation. A quick Google search for ‘cocktails Dundee’ came up with very few results; Jute it seemed, was the best option.
