Our day around Edinburgh was quite the adventure. We visited Holyrood Park & Palace, Parliament House, walked down Princes Street, hiked up to Edinburgh Castle and finished the day with a 3D film about the Loch Ness Monster (which we all know is real). An East Coast train took us down to London where we got ourselves Oyster Cards and conquered the Metro to our apartment. Our first day in London was almost entirely on foot as we proudly shunned every tour bus operator that approached us. We saw all the big sites as one does - Buckingham Palace, West Minster Abbey, Big Ben, etc, etc. My favourite part of the day was visiting the Coven Garden Markets where there were people selling all sorts of quirky little homemade creations. Day 2 in London was when we made our first big mistake. Taking the metro during peak hour. We then switched to the railway to spend the day in Cambridge where I bought myself a universtiy jumper (the only thing I had been looking forward to). Overall it was a super exhuasting day, but it's these sorts of things that you have just got to embrace.
Just a small part of Edinburgh Castle.
Buckingham Palace.
A street performer in Covent Garden Markets. (I gave him money and he shook my hand and patted my head...then blew a raspberry in my face)
