Edinburgh Castle

Monday was our scheduled tour day of Edinburgh, which meant starting off with a trip up the hill to Edinburgh Castle. With no trains to take, we were able to sleep in, catch a little "BBC News" and have a warm breakfast before leaving the hotel. The warm breakfast and caffe mocha came in handy as the weather had turned cold and a stiff wind had risen. We trudged our way up the Royal Mile to the Castle and queued for a guided tour.
