Six hours of walking!

Booked into a different hostel this morning 50 m away from Edinburgh Castle. The place is full and I'm in a dorm of 12. I walked and saw the sights for 6 hours today. Saw so much. Went to Holyrood Palace where the queen stays when she is in Scotland. Booked my flight to Faro, Portugal for the 10th as I have decided to go somewhere warmer and cheaper. Went out to a local pub tonight right next door and met some super friendly Scots. The pub was a sea of men! I had three Scots join me and we talked and laughed for two hours. They thought I was 21 and what a great compliment. I never thought Edinburgh would be so great. The people of Scotland are truly funny and so warm. More walking tomorrow and more sights to see. I actually saw the sea from the castle today.Read more
