That's an intentional typo. It's really Arthur's Seat, an 820-ft (meters be damned) hill adjacent to Holyrood Park. And I climbed it! Up steep inclines and over craggy rocks!
Almost!
I got to within spitting distance of the "summit" --without ever bursting into tears, let it be noted--and then decided that I didn't like it any more and decided the view from where I sat was just peachy. I was given many good-sport points from the point-giver, my Tenzing Norgay, who made it to the top in my name.
It provided a spectacular view from wherever you stood (or sat) and it was a good farewell event for our stay in Edinburgh. Tomorrow we start chanting "Drive on the left, drive on the left . . ."
Last night revelers of unknown origins reveled in a bar right below our hotel room window until nearly 4:00 am. I'm wary of a repeat tonight . . .
Hey, we were right there five years ago! Our photo is almost exactly the same, minus the sneaker.
ReplyDeleteI hear it doesn't take too long to get used to driving on the left. Good luck on the journey and enjoy -- the countryside is just beautiful.
YAY!!! As your lawyer, I applaud your hill-climbing accomplishments!!! :) LOVELY!!
