Far out, my feet are sore

Far out, my feet are sore. Today, I walked over 20 kilometres! The weather was absolutely stunning, so I decided to walk here, there, and everywhere.

This morning started with a practical mission - a visit to the one and only laundromat near my hotel. It was pretty expensive, but I suppose that’s the price you pay for being particular about your clothes. 🤣 Once everything was clean and folded, I headed up Princes Street and all the way to the top of the Royal Mile to make the most of the city views under those perfect blue skies.

Since the weather turned out to be far better than the forecast suggested, I couldn’t resist the idea of climbing to the top (well… almost) of Arthur’s Seat. Despite the sunshine, the path was still very muddy in places - and, my brand new Vans definitely paid the price. 😅 But, the views were worth every step. Afterwards, my feet found some refuge on a bench outside the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where I sat for a while, just soaking it all in - sunshine and all.

From there, I wandered back up the Royal Mile and onwards toward Dean Village. I spent about 45 minutes exploring the quiet, medieval streets in the late afternoon before my legs finally decided enough was enough.

Another brilliant day, and I couldn’t have asked for better weather. ☀️ I’m not sure my shoes will recover, but I definitely will.Read more
