Today we realized how far we’ve been walking every day. Just to get to the sights from the hotel is a little over two miles every morning. Not to mention the slow museum walking followed by the walk back at night. We are easily getting at least 5 miles of walking a day.
Today we walked to the beginning of a hike to Arthur’s Seat. Then we hiked (and I wheezed) up to it. Arthur’s Seat is the tallest point for miles around, so naturally it had an amazing view. We were able to see all of Edinburgh, the sea and the beautiful blue sky. We picked the perfect day to hike because the sky finally decided not to rain. It was insanely windy at the top (I was a bit concerned for my safety) but just fantastic.
It was a really great hike because there were multiple ways to reach the top; you don’t have to go up and down in the same direction. Going down we stumbled upon some ruins and a swan pond.
It’s really great, because I’m really starting to figure out Edinburgh and how to get around, we’re finally able to get ourselves off the beaten track but still manage to make it back to the hotel.
