Damian: Our next stop was the Scottish capital. My friends had all been telling me to visit it and upon arrival it was easy to see why. It is like something straight out of the story book of the middle ages and ones imagination can’t help, but run wild at the sight of such historical middle age marvels!
We were only there for one night, but just being able to walk to royal mile from castle to palace and try imagine what life was like here over 900 years ago was enough to satisfy me. We stayed in the middle of the old town and creepy does not even start to describe the feeling you get while walking through the many twisty allies. Pubs are overly abundant in Scotland and we spent the night once again socializing with some fellow backpackers at the local pub singing along with the live musician.
Lara: Um? How do I put this? For me Edinburgh was not the best place on earth. If it weren't for the all the hills at every corner of every street it would have been OK. It was great to see the old palace and castle of Edinburgh and imagine the people living there in those times. Every building had history and was beautiful, but it does get a little irritating when your big brother is oohing and aahing at every building that you drive past. The cold did not help much either.
Going out with the Aussie and the Englishman was so much fun, but trying to be picked up by a Scotsman with an accent is a bit of an experience. People this is when the "smile and nod" technique comes into play.
Damian: In my defence the places where amazing and every single one was worth all the oh's and ah's I could muster. I would do it all again just to see Lara being hit on by the Scotsman...so funny! I actually had to translate his English for her...
