Monday-- 2 hour ride to Edinburgh. After lunch (picture shows grape juice in glasses as we toast (no worries!) we split into groups and participated in a murder/mystery as we explored and shopped on the Royal Mile. Lots of Scottish plaid scarves and blankets, socks and kilts were available to purchase. We all met at the drawbridge to the castle and then explored the castle for a couple of hours. The castle was like a mini-city with buildings as old as St. Margaret's castle from the 1oth century. We learned all about Scotland's casualties during the Great War in the early 1900s. Back on the bus and off to dinner at our new hotel--off to bed early and up at 5am for the ferry ride to Ireland.
Thanks for updating this blog. It is fun reading what you are all doing. The pictures and descriptions of your activities are great!
ReplyDeleteThe murder mystery sounds cool!
