    May 6, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    We had a bit of delay because of the "Harr"- the misty fog . Tender rides were bumpy, and boarding was an event. Returning to the ship was very rocky. People pay a lot of money for a ride like that at an amusement park.

    Took the bus to downtown where we boarded the Hop-on-hop-off bus. Many sights:
    Sir Walter Scott, Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood castle.

    We stopped at a pub for a half pint, and a shot of a very nice scotch- Ailsa (I had a taste). I had some of an Inch cider- yummy, and W obliged by finishing it for me.

    Heriot's school (Hogwarts). So many historical sites and stories
