We took the public bus into downtown Edinburgh today. After finally locating the correct place we bought tour tickets for the bus. The busses are the type you can get on and off of as often as you like. The tickets are good for 48 hours and also good for admission to Hollyrood Palace, Edinburgh Castle and the Brittania Yacht.

It seemed like a pretty good deal so we started the tour. It went all around the city with a guide telling us points of interest as we went. We got out at Hollyrood Palace. I enjoyed looking around the Palace. I have very much enjoyed the Royal’s living spaces we have seen. Of course there was a gift shop and we all bought a few gifts to take home. We could not visit the castle because it was SO windy it was closed. They were afraid someone would blow off the hill.

We ate at Jimmy Chung’s for lunch. It was a buffet and was quite good with reasonable prices. We then did some more looking in shops. I expecially enjoyed Jenners as I had never been in one before. We returned to our hotel fairly early. I think we are all tired and so feeling a little down. For probably the first time on this trip I went almost immediately to sleep.
