Exploring the capital of Scotland by walking

Posted: 14th July 2010 by admin in Edinburgh

During the subsequent day, Maria and I got up early and spent some time having tea and contemplating the people from the terrace of our Edinburgh holiday dwelling. The moment we were dressed properly to go for a stroll, we headed immediately to the Royal Mile in the Old Town and thus we saw the Edinburgh Castle and the Holyroodhouse Palace. Maria has warned me that I need to wear flat and cosy trainers and thus I was able to handle the stoned roads in the old town.

We’d a meal and a fruit juice in the Holyrood Park on the eastern area and then went to the Arthur’s Seat and then towards the Cathedral St. Giles and the Scotch Whiskey Heritage Centre. Then we certainly needed refreshment and Maria suggested we really should have a bite and some ale on one of the bars alongside the Royal Mile. After the snack we had, we went for some souvenir shopping. Then we two decided, it might be better to go back to our Edinburgh accommodation and have some sleep. I watched TV, whereas Maria checked out her e-mail and done a study concerning the cafes and dining places in the Scottish main city that were in close proximity to our trip flat.

Late in the mid-day we went out once again and had a great lengthy walk along the Princes Street, which symbolizes the heart and in a way divides the Scottish main city into an Old and a New Town. On the Princes Street we found some great department stores, and noticed where the Royal Scottish Academy and the National Gallery are and decided to visit them on the next days.

We’d a peaceful meal at Rick’s bar, which is a stylish bar in the center, offering food and drinks. We’d deep fried pizza, which we found out is a typical local meal and then we went to bed early as we were really exhausted from the attractions and shopping throughout the day.
