Finally internet!

We finally have internet in our room! Thank goodness. Zach and I arrived in Edinburgh on Tuesday after a very uncomfortable trip. My hips were a bit too wide for the airplane seat so it was impossible to get comfortable at all and my hip cramped up ever other moment.  But finally we arrived at our hotel around midday. (After adventerously taking the bus from the airport to the hotel!) We checked in no problem. We walked around a bit and found a cute little sandwich shop. We headed back to the hotel and took a nap since we were so exhausted. We woke up around 6 and headed back out for more food! We got some fish and chips, which we took back to the hotel and devoured while watching Scottish TV. We managed to stay awake till around 10 and then passed out. On Wednesday we got up bright and early and, after having a delicious breakfast at the hotel, headed out to Edinburgh castle. After a long walk up several hills, we finally found the entrance and bought our tickets. The castle sits on a huge rock so that once you get up to the viewpoint along its walls, you can see all of Edinburgh. Quite a site. From there we went to the Camera obscura and World of Illusions. That place was quite fun and had a bunch of weird things to play with. After that we walked down the Royal Mile and got a pint of Scottish ale and bought some presents for our friends. Today I was in charge of the alarm... which was a mistake. We ended up missing breakfast and, at noon, have only just started getting out of bed! Oh well. We had a hard day yesterday and tomorrow we have to get up early for our bus tour to loch ness! Today it's to the Scottish portrait gallery and Calton hill!
Love to all!
