Edinburgh was fantastic. Again! I love that city. The girls had either not been there or not been there for a long time so we did all the touristy stuff again. Which isn't a bad thing, nothing felt boring or repetitive to me. We did do some things I hadn't done before, which was also great.
A new thing for me was the Ghost Tour, which I would recommend to anyone going. One of the girls said she is delighted she went on it, but would never go on one again. I loved it. I always thought I didn't like horror, but the gorey blood and guts type of horror, turns out that the traditional ghost story freaks me out too, when told properly anyway. Our guide was a proper scotsman, by the name of Euan, who knew dates and placenames and surnames for each story. The particular tour we took had us travel beneath the city into the vaults which once housed wine cellars, gambling halls, illegal taverns and occassionally bodies that had been snatched from nearby graveyards. And when I closed my eyes in bed that night all I could see was the old stone walls of the vaults. It kinda freaked me out. But thoroughly enjoyable.
