Edinburgh

Our day in Scotland was really enjoyable, if short. What a weird feeling to see everything in English and know everyone you see can not only answer your questions, but also understand the observations you make to your travel companions. Boy, the pounds go quick, though. We saw Edinburgh Castle, which was very pricey, Edinburgh Museum, which was free, ate meat pies and pasties for lunch (still no low fat food about), had a pint in a cool pub Sr found online, and made it back to the ship in time to see the now-retired royal yacht Britannia docked beside us in Leith.

Off to sea for a day, then Belfast and Dublin.
