So yesterday (June 12th) was yet another busy, cardio-filled day! I finally got a UK sim card for my phone (yay!) and Kayla and I discovered the National Gallery of Scotland. Which was located in the middle of Princes Street Gardens, was absolutely beautiful, and free! Kayla was very excited because they had a special exhibit on the artist, Albert Durer. He was a famous printmaker from the 16th Century and specialized in engravings and wood cuts. Very cool.
The weather was beautiful so we decided it was as good a day as any to climb Arthur's Seat. It was a steep climb (steeper than I remember!) but we made it to the top and the incredible view made it all worth it. We plan on doing the hike again soon.Afterwards we walked to Holyrood Park (big green space at base of Arthur's Seat) and just sat and people-watched for awhile. We ended up having dinner at Greyfriar Bobby's Pub, just up the road from our hostel. We both had a very English meal - Sausages & Mash - and I think we've discovered our new favorite comfort food. So good.
All-in-all, it was a very nice, relaxing, happy day.
Glad you're all enjoying the blog!
Until next time...
Amy & Kayla
