We spent yesterday traveling back from Porto and arrived back in Gatwick in the evening. Stayed in the hotel at Gatwick overnight and took an early flight to Edinburgh the next morning.
Our hotel in Edinburgh is on the Royal Mile and very castle-like. Unforunately, we arrived too early to check in, so we took a walk up and down the Mile, admiring the cathedral of St Giles and the local piper before doing some shopping in the old Tron Kirk (yes that's its real name), which has been turned into a craft market.
After that we took a tour of the Edinburgh vaults - a network of underground chambers under Edinburgh's south bridge. Very spooky!
By this time we were able to check into our hotel room. We had an evening meal at a fish and chip restaurant called Landy's just across the road from the hotel. They had a great cocktail menu, so we had liquid dessert.
