The Rutland


Disclaimer: I've have a few mojitos and a glass of champagne, not sure how put together I'll be in this entry! Today we checked into The Rutland hotel in Edinburgh. Mom will not be happy to hear that we have taken crazy advantage of the amazing room service. I mean this hotel is CLASSY. Seriously so fancy. We have an awesome view of the castle from our HUGE junior suit.  Music from our iPod come out of speakers around the room... anyway... I'll get back to talking about the hotel after I say what we did today. First we visited The Elephant House, a coffee shop where JK Rowling first started writing the Harry Potter books. From there we caught the bus to the zoo! Scotland is pretty hilly but the zoo was CRAZY hilly. We got tired pretty quickly but saw a lot of cool ani,also. Unfortunately, although they had giant pandas, you had to get advanced tickets to see them. All the enclosures were really beautiful and it felt like we were in a big park. From there we headed back to the Rutland and finally got to see our room. After gaping over it we headed down to the bar for a drink. It was pretty busy so after a drink in the bar we've been having some food and a few more drinks delieverd to the room. I swear mom, it's our only splurge! Well a long island iced tea is calling my name... more edits tomorrow from London!
