So I'm just catching up now from the fantastic, but exhausting last weekend in Edinburgh! It was a quick trip up Saturday AM and back Sunday evening, but surprisingly didn't feel all that rushed. I compare the journey with a flight between Toronto and Montreal -- if you took a train instead it'd probably take a bit over 4 hours from London up there.
Edinburgh is such an amazing city. The architecture is astounding and I could just wander around its' cool streets all day have a great time. The building are essentially all attached and have these little 'closes' between them, which are like little alleyways that usually have stairs going up/down to the next street over. There is often green moss growing on the old stone making it feel like you are back in time somewhere.
There was a ferris wheel in the middle of town for the Christmas festival, that Astrid and I took a ride on -- very cool views of the skating rink, city, and castle.
We topped off the trip by enjoying a Scottish delicacy: the deep fried mars bar! Yes, it sounds nasty, and looks even worse... but I don't even like Mars bars and this thing was tasty! Best comparison is probably like a chocolate crepe!
