First Full Day in Edinburgh

We love this city.

Today was a lot of just walking around and taking things in. We booked the castle for noon so we would have time to wander. We went in a tonne of shops because you just feel compelled to. Everything looks so interesting you have to check it out. We walked up and down the royal mile listening to bag pipers and taking pictures. We walked way out of our way to got to a game store called Mox In The Hole so the kids could look at Magic the Gathering cards, and we toured through the castle. So much stuff to see and read. There is lots of history on Scotlands military history through the ages and historical places where kings were born. Super interseting.

We had to make some cuts to our schedule when we were planning this trip and getting into the highlands was one of them. So we will have to come back at some point because it is beautiful here. And the 3 days we booked here don't seem to be enough.

We were concerned about noise coming off the bars here in Grass Market but it wasn't too bad. You can hear some laughter but all in all it is a nice background noise to remind us life is going on out there.

Ok. Off to bed now and we are looking forward to tomorrow.Read more
