We left London this moving on the train to come to Edinburgh for the next week. It was a 4 ½ train ride, but it was a pretty nice train, so I didn’t think it was that bad. I actually thought this train was a little nicer than the Eurostar trains, but not everyone agreed with me.
Our apartments are not far from the train station and just a few blocks off the Royal Mile. Instead of having our own room and bathroom here, we are staying in actual apartments, so to each one there are four bedrooms, one kitchen/living room and one bathroom. Although the rooms are a little bigger, it was nicer having our own bathrooms in London.
Edinburgh is very pretty and unique. It is completely opposite of London. It is a lot calmer with a lot less tourists. When we first got here, and after getting situated at the apartment, we walked down the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle. It was cool to see, but I don’t like how they commercialize it so much. There also were not nearly as many tourist as there were at the London Tower, but then again, I also don’t think it was as cool as the London tower.
After the castle we went and ate at an Italian restaurant, which I was really excited about. We have eaten at so many pubs, I am not sure I can handle much more pub food. We were originally going to a pub, but they could not accommodate the amount of people we had so we had to find a different place….which lead us to Italian. Everyone loved their meals though, so it was a good decision.
