Day 8: Not a nice breakfast at all today, but that may
be for the best anyhow. Edinburgh is a lovely city. It is the
capital of Scotland, and the home to their new parliament building.
They managed to surpass the aqua-ferris-wheel and the silly monorail up a
mountain by stretching a £40million budget to £430million, and finishing
three years behind schedule. Aside from that awful looking building,
the rest of the town is very pretty and historic. We spent the whole
day walking around touring the
castle (home to the Scottish Crown Jewels), the
Royal Mile (basically a timeline
of Edinburgh in stone) and the
Royal Yacht Britannia
(the floating palace of the royals). We capped the evening off by
having dinner with
Harry Fisher (one of the men who was shot down with Jon's Grandpa). Day 9: A bit of last-minute sight-seeing including Stirling Castle, and off to the airport to fly back to London.
