Pick-nick in the park! I love a nice mince pie — from The Piemaker in this case — but it even tastes better when sitting in the sun in Princess Street Gardens.
Tattie dogs are sheer genius, by the way: a hot dog sausage encased in some kind of hash brown…
After some porridge for breakfast, we went to the National Museum of Scotland. Great place! Too much to see in just a couple of hours, but at least that way there’s something for everybody.
This time I had a closer look at the exhibition about the Jacobites.
To end the day: a nice meal at Mums Great Comfort Food and a whisky tasting at the Whiski Bar & Restaurant.
Since it’s quite hard to blog without being anti-social when travelling in a group, here’s just a little photo impression of yesterday, including a guided tour of the city and a visit to Edinburgh Castle.
The gang is complete now! After settling in at the hostel or apartment, we went to The City Cafe for dinner, then for a little walk and some drinks.
A fine start of this trip, I’d say.
