We reached Edinburgh at around 2pm. It was raining!! Waited for a while for Wei Ven's friends to come pick us up. We went to their place to put our luggages and rest for a while...
The living room and kitchen - guess which of the cupboard is the fridge?
Didn't want to waste the afternoon, the two friends, Hao Keat and Lee Cil, brought Wei Ven and I to walk around Edinburgh for a bit. Luckily the sky cleared =)
The National Gallery of Scotland
black building - sorry I don't know its name
I don't know what is this building either....
Came across this Disney shop along the streets!
We walked up Calton Hill
View of some cliff from Calton Hill
The National Monument at Calton Hill
Edinburgh city view from Calton Hill
first jump shot! ('lompatan yang cantik' according to Wei Yong)
Nelson Monument
Dugald Stewart Monument
Wei Ven and I had dinner at Mussel Inn as the other two had bought chicken from Sainsbury (only 1 pound for one whole roasted chicken!)
1/2 kilo of mussels in white wine, garlic & cream (6 pounds); and also onion & croque soup - nice and warm for the cold weather
We went home after dinner and started to repack for our Europe trip together as we had a flight to catch the next day evening.
The next morning Wei Ven and I went to Edinburgh Castle.
In front of the University of Edinburgh (School of Divinity, New College)
Inside the University
On the way up to Edinburgh Castle....quite a walk up hill
Welcome to Edinburgh Castle =)
It's a huge castle!
Some random guy....
Bagpipes, Scotland-only =P
Inside the Castle grounds
Some memorial for the soldiers
In the Crown Palace
cannons
Edinburgh city streets....can you imagine walking down the streets with whole stretch of this type of buildings?
Scottish flag =)
Went home to have microwaved lunch we bought from Sainsbury....and soon it was time to head for the airport.
The third airport I had been since I came to Europe
nice car on display
We flew to London Luton airport and stayed there overnight as our next flight to our next destination was early in the morning. A few hours into the night and suddenly the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate! We followed the crowd out of the small airport....there were some fire trucks (apparently it cost 1000 pounds for each truck to come), thankfully there wasn't any fire. But I just wanna get some sleep...
It was extremely cold outside...and with the strong wind, brrrr~
my cappuccino and Wei Ven's latte
Time for boarding....stay tuned for the next destination =P
