Edinburgh.

So we got to the airport with plenty of time and had some awesome cold salads whilst we waited for our flight. Boarded the plane and were in Scotland in about 1 hour. Thank god our flight wasn't cancelled. We got a bus from the airport into the city centre and found our hostel really easily. The hostel is awesome, it is an old cathedral that has been made into a hostel so the ceilings are huge and the exterior is amazing.

After checking in we found we were sharing a room with some Spanish girls and immediately realised that there will be naked women everywhere in Spain as they have no problem nudeing it up in front of us. They are really nice even though they speak hardly any English so its all good.

The hostel has kitchen facilities, tv, dvd player, pool table, showers etc with a decent sized common room with a bar etc so its a pretty sweet set up. We headed into the city the next day, only about a 2 minute walk from where we are staying. Saw the Edinburgh Castle and a whole heap of old churches. Had a look around the Edinburgh Dungeon, found some cool shops on Market St and had a vegan baked potato, soooo good.

The city itself is really beautiful and the people are really nice. We went to the tartan weaving mill and found our family shields and tartans etc and bought a few things. We basically wandered all over the city except for a few parts which we are going to see today.

Finally booked our flights for Belfast, hopefully they go ahead without any trouble. Looked up a few metal type bars and clubs so hopefully if its not too cold tonight we can go out drinking, its actually pretty hot today :)

Speak soon xxx
