On the next morning, Maria and I woke up early and spent some time drinking capuccino and contemplating the people from the terrace of our Edinburgh holiday apartment. The moment we appeared to be dressed appropriately to go for a walk, we went directly to the Royal Mile in the Old Town and so we saw the Edinburgh Castle and the Holyroodhouse Palace. Maria has informed me that I should wear flat and comfortable trainers and thus I was able to deal with the cobbled roads in the old town.
We had a sandwich and a beverage in the Holyrood Park on the eastern part and then went to the Arthur’s Seat and then in the direction of the Cathedral St. Giles and the Scotch Whiskey Heritage Centre. After that we certainly required refreshment and Maria suggested we must have a bite and some ale on one of the bars along the Royal Mile. After the snack we had, we went for some souvenir purchasing. After that the two of us agreed, it would be better to return to our Edinburgh accommodation and have some sleep. I watched TV, whilst Maria checked out her e-mail and done a research concerning the pubs and dining establishments in the Scottish capital that were near to our holiday apartment.
Late in the mid-day we went out again and had a great lengthy walk along the Princes Street, which signifies the heart and in a way separates the Scottish main city into an Old and a New Town. On the Princes Street we discovered a few nice department stores, and noticed where the Royal Scottish Academy and the National Gallery are and made a decision to visit them on the following days.
We had a quiet dinner at Rick’s pub, that is a stylish pub in the center, serving meals and drinks. We had deep fried pizza, which we discovered is a normal local dish and then we went to bed early as we were quite worn out from the landmarks and shopping during the day.
