Our trip to Scotland would not be complete without a visit to its charming capital city Edinburgh. Every building is historical and connected by winding cobblestone streets and you can hear the sound of bag pipes in the distance from any shop corner.Chevhaun and I have both decided that we would live here in a second. The day we arrived we took a sightseeing tour around the city and then tried Haggis for lunch. It was the first time and the last time! Our hostel, Edinburgh Backpackers, has many Canadians staying at it who are either just visiting or live and work in the city. We took a 12 hour tour to the highlands of Scotland that lead us to Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness. We took a boat ride across the Loch but never ran into any mythical sea creature along the way. We also saw a highland bull which is called Hamish. After the tour we packed it in early, but not without fitting in a few games of rummy. It's on. The next day we had lunch in a park facing the Edinburgh Castle and started the uphill treack to see it, stopping to torture ourselves in many shops along the way. We have decided to stay one more night and got a deal too. We are headed to Buxton, England on Thursday to stay with family of Chevhaun's.
