Trip to Edinburgh

On Tuesday afternoon Niki and I took voyage to Scotland across the Irish Sea. Once we landed in Stranraer we hopped on a train to Edinburgh. The city is so full of history that it seemed like Niki and I only got a taste. The place itself is beautiful, full of ancient buildings and castles as well as some more natural surrounding hills.
As Niki's face shows above we got turned down at the Edinburgh Castle entrance due to high winds. But this was the only real disappointment. The trip was many firsts for us. The first time to Scotland, the first time riding a train (for me), the first time crossing the Irish Sea etc... In Edinburgh we did a variety of trips including a science center, the woolen mills, local museums, the house of John Knox and a section of the old city underground. It was a good chance to learn more about Scotland and the Scots, although there's still much to explore.
