The Royal Mile (the best part about Edinburgh)
Edinburgh is a quaint town/city with great food (see below), friendly people, haunted streets, and imposing castles. It is a VERY walkable city which was awesome for two pseudo-backpackers on their first trip of the semester.
The best brunch in Edinburgh
Biggest Meal I've had so far!
Christina and I had a blast exploring the city even though the weather was frigid, freezing, icy, drizzling, (you get the point). To list a few of the sights we saw and things we did:
- Walked the Royal Mile/Princess St.
- Toured the Castle and saw the Crown Jewels
- Saw the Scott Monument
- Went on a hunted tour of the Underground city (scariest thing I have ever done in my life)
- Had tea at the new Missoni Hotel
- Watched a man swallow a sword
- Did a Whisky Tasting
- Enjoyed the company of the Scots
Overall a very successful trip!
