    Well, I did get a haircut after we got home...other than that...

    We Present Edinburgh....

    (and unfortunatly not some of the best parts.....)

    We got to Edinburgh in the afternoon and checked into our hotel and just did the rest-up thing. Next morning we wandered around a bit (we were staying just off Princes Street at Calton Hill) and decided to take a tour bus around the town just to get our bearings. Once done we got back on the tour bus and took it until it took us to the top of the Royal Mile (nearly) and got off. We had decided to walk the rest of the distance up to the castle and see what we could.



    That was all well and good...except....

    We got to the top of the Royal Mile and were sucked into the Vortex of oblivion that is:



    Once we were sucked in there was no going back...

    Another pic:



    Once we got inside we were completely mesmerized by the sheer scale of the place....



    That was just ONE view of the whole of the store. Lordy, I'm still not sure how we made it out alive. We certainly didn't make it out unscathed.

    I think before we made it out the door (no kilt was involved) we spent somewhere around 300 Pounds Sterling. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
