London post # 5

The next adventure was a 3 day whirlwind trip to Scotland. I took a (very) early train ride from Kings Cross in London to Edinburgh. I arrived right around lunch time, checked into my hotel, and was off!
My first stop was The palace of Holyroodhouse. 
I then explored a little bit of the oldest part of Edinburgh before going to bed early. I had another early morning ahead of me.
I joined a tour group for a full day of exploring in the highlands & up to Loch Ness. The tour guide was awesome! He had an amazing accent ;) and had great stories to tell along our 320 mile journey. 
We didn't see any signs of Nessie, the monster, although it was really cold on Loch Ness. 40 degrees with rain & wind. Brrrr!
My last day in Edinburgh was spent at the castle & some more exploring, with some souvenir shopping as well.

I'm off to bed, tomorrow is another early day :)
