Sunday June 26th - Edinburgh - LAST DAY!

So this is the last day before flying home.  I have to admit I'm very ready to go home at this point but it has been a wonderful trip.

We continued our stay in Edinburgh with a Scottish Experience last evening which included Scottish music, dancing and even a bite of haggis.  Yes, I tried it.  It really wasn't all that bad though it was a bit on the spicy side.  Not sure I know what the spices were but all good.

We took the bus tour this morning with an aim to visit the castle.  Unfortunately it wasn't accessible this morning so we took the complete tour and then visited one of the art museums which was nearby the bus stop and our hotel.  We had a nice lunch and then back to the bus and the castle.  As you might guess, the castle is on a high hill overlooking the city and visibility to the eastern shore, so it was a walk up.  Given that walk and this point in our journey we probably didn't see as much of the castle as we might have had it been earlier in the tour but we did spend some time there.  Then back down the hill to the bus. 

Now we're at the hotel just winding down.  Our flight leaves quite early in the morning so it will be an early evening.  We have yet to sample any whiskey so we may need to find time to at least get in a taste at a nearby pub or restaurant.

Thanks for following along.  It's been great to give you a taste of the journey.
