Edinburgh is a definite must come back to. After a very rocky start, meaning we waited for 45 minutes to be picked up (starting at 5:45AM), finally called the tour company, and they send a private car to come get us. Apparently our transfer driver was waiting for people who hadn't bothered to tell them they didn't need a ride. Little did we know that our train tickets were for 7:00 AM. We arrived at 6:58AM. Needless to say, our frantic tour person at the train station had our tickets changed to the 8:00AM train. The good news is we have first class tickets so the ride is very nice, great scenery all along the route. The only downside is we lost an hour of our self-guided tour day. We arrive in Scotland at 11:30 and catch the hop-on-hop-off bus to Edinburgh Castle. We spend a couple of hours there and stop for lunch at a local cafe. Our train was leaving for London at 5:15PM, so we finished the city tour and headed to the train station. Whirlwind day...we all want to take a day off from sight-seeing.
I'm already planning an extended tour of these places for when Andy and I retire. Andy says I'm several years too early but I'm too excited to wait. :)
