An Afternoon in Edinburgh...


It probably seems foolish, but we managed to squeeze in an afternoon in Edinburgh before heading down to England to visit more friends. After dropping our bags at our B&B, we walked up the hill to Edinburgh Castle, a castle fortress with mostly 16th century buildings and excellent views of this capital city. We then walked along the Royal Mile, where I bought a short kilt for myself for next year’s Burns Night Supper. We did some more shopping, then had a great seafood dinner at Seadogs and went back to the room to watch the classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. After a delicious breakfast, we flew to Kent on Flybe, a UK-based regional airline which had the nerve to charge to check-in online (so I just checked in the old-fashioned way--at the airport).
