Beautiful Edinburgh

What an incredible city this is. We arrived yesterday for a three day visit.

Our b&b, the Ardenlee Guest House is fairly close to the centre of the city so it is only a short walk.

This time we have bought tickets to an honest-to-goodness city hop on...hop off good for 48 hours of multi bus tours. It has been quite a bit of fun; we took two tours today, and will do the others tomorrow.

We had started the day with a Scottish breakfast at the b&b. Cereal...fruit...eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, fried tomatoes and toast. Cheese yogurt fruit and marmalade and toast rounded out the meal.  Mmmmmmmm

After the bus trip Kendra and Leif went for a hike up the mountain beside the city for some amazing views.  I , on the other hand, wandered the Royal Mile dodging street performers and listening to bagpipes.

Kipling's Bakewell Tarts (consumed while watching Steven Fry on TV) finished up our day.
