Edinburgh Party...


We had a long weekend away in Edinburgh with Chris & Lynne and Debbie for Chris’s 60th birthday. We stayed in a flat near the Union canal and we walked along it into town and then besides the Water of Leith to the sea all on the first day. There we had lunch and visited the Royal Yacht Britannia. In the evening, we caught up with Jamie and Gia and had a night out on the town ending up at the fun Mad Hatter. The next day we visited Princes Street and the Old Town where we caught up with Jack and Jean. That evening we had a lovely meal at the Raeburn Hotel.  Next day we wandered around the pretty Royal Botanic Gardens, went on an Underground Ghost Tour and caught up with more of Chris’s friends before gathering for an evening meal in a local curry house. On our final day, we visited the Edinburgh Zoo where we saw pandas and king penguins amongst other animals – the place seems old and I felt uncomfortable about the condition of the enclosures for some of the animals.
