I'm loving Edinburgh. It's been cold, rainy, overcast and generally not so hospitable and I love it. I'm totally happy with my decision to fit Scotland into the trip - it's such a great place.
I did a walking tour today that covered the highlights of the city - the castle (there's always a castle), the churches (there's always at least one) and the general history of the place - which apparently is slightly different from Braveheart (who knew?). I'm going to walk around taking pictures tomorrow and then going on a "haunted" tour tomorrow night. I figure the haunted tour will be pretty crap - but it gives me an excuse to take some night shots without having to wander around the city alone at night with my camera (thus painting a giant bullseye on myself).
Then on Wednesday I go on my day tour out to Loch Ness in search of the monster (and, I'm told, so really amazing scenery). I'm really looking forward to getting into the highlands a bit and seeing what it's like outside the city.
I haven't decided what to do with Thursday yet, I might grab a train or a bus to Glasgow - just to check it out. I've heard it isn't as nice as Edinburgh - but I probably should see it while I'm here. Then, Friday, it's back on the bus to London where I'll crash until I meet up with the family on Monday morning. Then it's cruise-city baby!
I've uploaded some pictures of San Sebastian for your viewing pleasure. I'll try to upload the Scotland pictures when I get back to London this weekend. Hope all is well with everyone back home.
