Saturday, day two of our Edinburg adventure started early (again) with a hike, this one was a little more serious. On one of the hilltops on the outskirts of Edinburg is Arthur's Seat, which ended up being quite the trek. Turns out that we first hiked around the base of the hill, before starting our ascent, but this allowed us to see even more of the beautiful Scottish scenery. We then spent a good amount time on the top taking in the view and taking pictures (of course). |
| Almond cake, vanilla latte, and cucumber mint water. Perfect. |
After surviving the ascent, we found out that there was a much easier and quicker way down, which we of course took and zipped down into Edinburgh. We stopped at the first cafe we found and feasted, I had Carbonara Pasta and it was delicious. Next stop was the hostel for a much needed shower and a little bit of time spent recharging after our high mileage adventure.
We decided to explore across the river which is considered the "new town" within Edinburgh. In a previous post I profiled the typography, Caringorm provided both vanilla lattes and chocolate almond cakes, both of which we were in dire need of!
From there we split up and I managed to spend even more money, but who needs to eat anyway... right?
After everyone grabbed dinner and reunited at the hostel we went on a more sinister adventure, an Edinburgh Ghost Tour. Apparently much of Edinburg is haunted, especially an old bridge that had been bricked up and inhabited by medieval homeless people. Very fun, very creepy.
Oops, took me a long time to finish/publish this post... hope you enjoy!
