Jet lagged in Edinburgh

After a medical emergency in Calgary our plane arrived 1 hour late in Edinburgh. By the time we made it through customs, found the hotel and freshened up it was early afternoon. The plan was to stay up till 8pm so our first stop was for coffee, then it was off to bookshops and wool shops. I purposely did not bring a book so I could buy a good Scottish murder mystery. After watching all the Shetlands I know that Scotland is basically the murder capital of the world and there would be lots of books about murder. This was a bit more challenging as guess what they don’t just talk about murders here.

Speaking of Shetland none of the shops have anything with Shetland ponies on them, it is all this hairy ass cow! Not impressed.

Anyways this adventure took us through Old Town Edinburgh which is something out of a movie…a movie called Harry Potter. We also made it to the castle but it was closed for tours so we just went into the wee gift shop. Everything is wee here. We also found a wee pub and sat down for some wee pints. It was weerific! We also had Scottish chowder or Cullen Skink as they call it, difference is that it is made with haddock and scallions, but just as tasty.もっと詳しく
