What I forgot to talk about yesterday...

So in all the excitement of getting a job and finally being able to upload some of my pictures, I forgot to write about what I did yesterday.

To start off the day Cheryl and I went to see the Edinburgh castle, something it can be argued we should have done when we first got here. The best part about our tour of the castle was that it turned out to be free and we didn't have to wait in the huge line up to get tickets. How did we do that you ask? Well it just so happened that a man had brought a tour group of execs or something and not all of them had come so they had spare tickets which he then gave to us. So along we went free tickets in hand bypassing all of the people standing in the cold waiting to pay money. Oh and was it cold, I wore my toque all day. I felt very Canadian.

The castle was lovely, we took a guided tour around from a man with pink eye and veins popping out all over his face, charming really. He was funny and despite the cold we had a good time. How could we not, we could see all of Edinburgh from there.

After we had some lunch we then went to Mary King's Close. By far this is the best tour I've been on since our stay. We got to go under the city to see the way people lived before. It was dark, smelly and creepy as hell. I loved it!! Our tour guide was funny too which made it better. He kept scaring the crap out of us too by stomping on the floor.

Well I have more to tell but I've run out of time to tell it so I guess you will have to wait.
