Well Edinburgh, it's been fun.

Alright everyone, I'm in the airport in Edinburgh about to board my flight for Dublin! This also means that I'm paying for very expensinve Internet so it's a race against the clock. No proofreading today!

Edinburgh was amazing. Sunday night I went on the ghost tour like I said I would and it was so fun! We walked through the street at night, and the tour guide told us myths and stories from the past (and one from the not so distant past that was quit bone-chilling). The tour guide was a bit over dramatic, but it was a great way for me to safely see the city at night when travelling by myself.

Yesterday I decided to walk to the port in Leith to see the water (the Firth of Forht). Well, bad idea. It was waaaaaaaaay farther than I expected and by the time I got there I was grumpy and exhausted. Not only that, byt there was not much there at all. I found a mall, ended up eating lunch at a Starbucks and wallowed for a bit. I chose this over going to Holyrood Park which would have been a much better choice. Well, I started to walk back and said forget this, so the next bus stop I saw I hopped on and rode it until SOMETHING looked familiar. Luckily, this was really effective. I had planned on gion to more sights when I got back, but I was not in the mood. I took a nap at my hostel andwhen I woke up I was so sore that I decided to take it easy. Don't want ot wear myself out before the next two weeks (then I'm coming home!).

I walked around in the evening and bought more presents (one for you Sue!) and was in dire need of a good meal. I pulled out my guidebook and found myself right next to a restaurant called Mussel Inn on a happening pedestrian street called Rose Street. Well, I ended up eating almost a 1/2 kilo of mussels in white wine, cream, onions and garlic, chips (fries), and bread. Fat and HAPPY. Went to bed early and got a great shower (the first good one since Friday... the last time I tried, the water shut off mid shampoo!) No one was in my room last night so I got it to myself.

This morning I had breakfast and hot choclate with my Australian friends Zoe and Andy. They are amazing! I wish I could write more but I gtg!
