Edinburgh Part 2~

Second half of my day spent in Edinburgh~

Superb weather :) This was taken outside Edinburgh castle before we set off for Calton Hill~

Must-see stuff in Scotland.. Kilts and Tartan~

This pic is for you litte bro- Thistle Hotel in Edinburgh.. :)

We had a little delay while going to Calton Hill, cos one of the cars went missing in the ridiculously complicated streets of Edinburgh and we had to look for them but we still got there in the end and eventhough we had to climb up a super super super steep hill to get to the top (worst part was we found that there were no toilets at the top, so we climbed back down to go find one and then climbed back up again >.<), but the view was worth it all~ :)

The most fake looking picture I have taken so far.. Looks like a studio backdrop if not for the people sitting there.. haha..

Very happy that I got to climb up there.. Needed some help of course..
I have short legs.. sobsob..

Just wikied Calton Hill and that giant thing we climbed up is actually the Scottish National Monument~

Standing at the edge overlooking the city :)



View of Edinburgh Castle from atop the hill~

With our crazy (trying hard to act cool) driver~

This is not a random picture, that slab there is known as Arthur's Seat, a formation caused by an old volcano..

Proof that i'm not lying.. :)

Sigh.. and i spoil the view once again.. hahaha..

Next destination was to see look at a pretty bridge called The Forth Rail Bridge~

Its actually a bridge for trains, hence the name..

See the train? See the train??!
We were super excited when we first saw one, but then after seeing one passing by every 5 minutes, the novelty kind of wore off.. >.<

This other bridge is for motor vehicles~

Obviously, 'The Two Bridges' is situated in between both bridges.. @.@~

Since it was raining very very heavily then, we just sat outside a cafe and did lots of random stuff to occupy our time while the others went exploring round the area..

Things we did:
-Watched our breaths come out foggy, first time i've experienced this, quite fun :)
-Took self-taken pics

-Watched some drama unfolding on the bridge.. hehehehehe

People here love kissing on bridges.. more romantic is it??

After that we were on our way to Inverness to pass the night.. Loch Ness is up next! :)
PS:I still cant get over how fun Scotland was... :)
