Scotland: Last Day


I have posted the pics for the 23rd and 24th. If this post seems a bit brief it is because we are up late killing time in the Edinburgh hostel before we go to the airport. Quite honestly, we're tired. It's time to go home and get back to our lives.

Driving back to Edinburgh

Our vacation is finally at an end. We returned the rental car gladly, put our luggage into storage lockers at the youth hostel we stayed at before, and walked back to the Old City. We passed the day by visiting some museums we’d already been to and some that we hadn’t. At the National Gallery we finished our introduction to the museum with the Scottish gallery.




Prince's Street Gardens and the Royal Mile

Later, we went to The People’s Story, an exhibit dedicated to what life has been like for typical Edinburgh citizens since the 1700s. In between museums we did some window shopping and walked up and down the Royal Mile. It was a beautiful clear and warm day outside, and it was nice just to wander the streets for a few hours. We also went back to the Museum of Scotland until closing time. We each properly stuffed ourselves at dinner since it was going to be our last proper meal in Scotland.

Go, Robot!  My God it's full of stars!

 Pub Time!

Since our first flight does not leave until 6:30 Sunday morning, we cancelled our final stay at the hostel here and have decided to hang out in their 24-hour lobby until we feel like going to the airport, whenever that is.

This is our last official post from Scotland but not the final word.  Thanks to everyone for the feedback on our blog and for being patient during the times internet access was a little difficult for us. We'll be in touch!
