Edinburgh

After a very nice sleep by the seaside, and a delicious full English breakfast at the hotel (Vela tried black pudding - not her jam) we were ready to get back on the road. Nathan made a quick pit stop to get a bit of washing done while Vela went for a walk through the old town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed.
We crossed the border into Scotland and then set off for Edinburgh. After a short drive we arrived and headed straight to the middle of town. After we found a parking spot for the afternoon we walked up to the royal mile, a road linking Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace. We wandered up the cobbled streets, enjoying the sounds of bagpipes which really made us feel like we were in Scotland. There was an assortment of other street performers as well, including a group that had some owls you could pay to get a photo with.
We made our way up to Edinburgh Castle, expecting to be able to buy a ticket at the gate and walk right in. Oops that one might have needed a bit more planning... Looks like it books out at least half a week in advance... Never mind...
We headed back down the Royal Mile and parked ourselves up in a pub for about an hour. They had some of the Euro Cup Football on so we kept one eye on the telly while sampling some real ales. After we were finished in the town centre, we made our way around a couple of spots for views of Edinburgh Castle. Both of us haven't been feeling 100% so we opted to drive out to a quiet spot at a marina to look at the boats and relax. We both ended up having a nap for about an hour before it was time for dinner and off to our accommodation.
Unfortunately our accommodation was a bit of a dud. We didn't have high hopes as it was a hostel room with 6 bunks, but it was significantly smaller than expected and when paired with two guys snoring and another getting up very inconsiderately early (5am) having a shower and making a hell of a racket, it even fell below our low expectations... No more shared rooms in hostels for us!もっと詳しく
