    Edinburgh Castle, Mary King's Close, Royal Mile

    So I didn't end up sleeping too well last night...more people arrived in my room later in the evening and it woke me up. I also tossed and turned a bit, being uncomfortable, but hopefully tomorrow will be better! I had set my alarm for 7:30 so I could get out early to the castle, but I ended up getting up at 8:30 and didn't get out of bed until …

    Edinburgh

    I arrived safely in Edinburgh and got a taxi right outside the train station to where I'm staying. It's a guest house, the room is lovely with a super king size bed and snuggly, soft sheets and blankets. I'm not keen on the shared bathroom thing though, but I think it will be ok as I haven't seen or heard anyone since I got here. After a nice hot …
