Hello! We arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland yesterday afternoon to a lively walk to our hostel. It is festival time which means there are many people on the street performing and advertising performances for the Fringe Festival. Not 2 hours in Scotland and Andrei owns a kilt. He was very excited about this.
Next, we decided to try to get tickets for the Military Tattoo that same night-a show of military bands from all over playing right in front of the Edinburgh Castle. We were successful! The show was interesting. Bagpipes and other instruments, but mostly bagpipes.
Today, we started off the day visiting the Edinburgh Castle, which was really interesting and gives great views of the city from the castle walls. After that, we went to the Royal Museum to learn more about Scotish history. The rest of the time, we've just been wandering around, stopping to watch various street performers, and enjoying the friendly atmosphere.
Looking forward to a tour of the Highlands and Loch Ness tomorrow!
