We woke up and packed up what we would need for the next week or so. We picked up our "hired" car at the airport and set out to Edinburgh! It was a bit tricky, but we found our way and parked near the castle. I had been here once before, but it was a quick trip and didn't really get a feel for the city. This time, we took a tour of the castle and wandered around on our own as well. We checked out a few cool places in the city and walked the entire Royal Mile.
I have a lot of pictures from this day, so I'll let them mostly speak for themselves. (Helpful Hint- if you click on the slideshow, it will bring you to the web album and you can view the pics in a bigger slideshow if that helps!) That night was the only night during our trip that we stayed in an actual hotel. It was a nice place and we also had our first excursion to an ASDA, which is a bit like a Wal-Mart. We bought some grocery essentials and I bought a belt (the only thing that I forgot to pack!)
It was our first day on our own, and in a sense the day that the trip became real to me!
