Edinburgh...yeah

Wow my feet are really tired...we had to have walked like 10 miles today. We just got back from touring the city of Edinburgh, its amazing. The focal point is Edinburgh Castle which has loomed, good word, over the city for nearly 1000 years. While it is not all original it offered the 'fab four', our nickname from our free Ireland tour great views of the city. The tour of the castle took about 2 hours and then we made our way down the Royal Mile. Filled with tourist shops, kilt stores and shops galore it is the center of the Old Town and tourism in Edinburgh. We then made our way tour Hollyrood Park. Now this is no Park like we have in the states. Its the remains of a prehistoric volcano with a peak close to 750 feet tall, with breathtaking views of Edinburgh, its suburbs, the North Sea and the countryside beyond the city. It was kind of a hike to get there, well at least for me, the others seemed to have no problem. But the end was worth all that work and we were treated to the astounding view. We took the normal shots, including the 'cheesy lets all look away from the camera' pose, which I do have to say always look cool. After our descent we were nearly eaten alive by a mob of Swans and Geese but were saved by Adam bravely charging through the middle of them to our rescue. We are now getting ready to enjoy our tasty lasagna from Lidl and relax as it has been a very long day and we have an even longer one tomorrow as we are heading to the home of Nessie and Braveheart, The Highlands. Thanks for all your comments its nice to have a little bit of home. Talk to you all later.
