We had a relaxed day. Nat & James are leaving tomorrow and I don’t want them to go 🙁 It’s been so great catching up and being tourists together. Natalie is having a fab time, which I’m so pleased about, given that Scotland is not her fave destination. I think she’s been very pleasantly surprised at how much there is to see here.
We grabbed a cup of tea at the bottom of the Mound, then headed up the 4 billion stairs to the Royal Mile. Good God, I’m going to have buns of steel after this holiday.
We wandered down the Royal Mile, down past the Wyrd Shoppe and stopped in for some shopping. Nat & I got some beautiful titanium quartz necklaces and a few other bits and bobs in the crystal section. My crystal collection has grown significantly since I arrived. Cannot wait to get them all home and see what they do.
After that, we carried on down the Royal Mile then made our way up to Calton Hill. More stairs but after the beer consumption lately, it’s very necessary!
We stopped at The Scotch Whisky Experience at the top of the Royal Mile. I’ve been tasked with bringing back 6 bottles of scotch for my family so I needed the extra hands to help me carry them back to the flat.
More miles, lots more stairs, and then dinner over some pints. Oooof it’s definitely been a boozy day! We’re meeting up early tomorrow to see them off at the airport. I’m not looking forward to that part at all.
