After going to bed in the weee hours of the morning, Chelsea and I woke up for breakfast and then we headed to the castle. The castle had a gorgeous view of Edinburgh.
I also happened to have a greeeeat smudge on my camera lens...
I absolutely loved the cemetary for the solider's dogs, the Crown Jewels, and the war memorial. I thought the last two were especially gorgeous.
After the castle, a big group of us practically ravaged High Street. We must have hit every single souvenir shop there was. I bought a lone fuzzy, wool scarf.
After High Street we were exhausted and proceeded to ravage the Chinese buffet, which was absolutely delcious, even if the "hostess" was hecka rude :/
After completely stuffing ourselves (and I mean stuffing) we headed up the hill (the one Justin proceeded to roll down, and Jeff fell down).
It was also gorgeous!
We are obviously masochists, because after the hill climb we decided to stop by the mall to grab a fizzy and do some shopping....
We finally headed back to the hotel and at 830 we headed back out to Mary King's Close tour, which was super interesting and a lot of fun..especially since it was underground!
After a short nap, we once again wanted to experience then Edinburgh nightlife! On the previous night, we asked a local for fun place to go and he suggested we goto a great piano bar called Fingers. He said that it was where all locals went out, we would be the only foreigners and it would be a greeeeat time..
..so we google-mapped FINGERS and headed on down.
It was a hole in the wall and it definitely did not follow any type of fire saftey standards/maximum occupancy requirements if such things even exist in Scotland..it was packed.
It was an amazing, amazing time with the Scottish piano player playing Hey Jude and Summer of '69. We danced like crazy, sang at the top of our lungs, and we definitely were the piano man's favorites..
After head-banging old ladies who liked to shove you around amidst their dancing, we left and went to a more upscale bar, where we made some more Scottish dancing friends.
It was a fantastic night in Edinburgh! You gotta love those holes in the walls that only the locals know about!
