Day Six

So today we went to Edinburgh Castle. It is up a very steep hill but has spectacular views over Edinburgh. My feet and back ache from all the walking, but I enjoyed myself. Only one day left

Day five

Today we decided to go to Dundee for the day. Leaving early we drove to just outside to Glamis Castle. We went on a guided tour and got to see where the late Queen Mother grew up and her wedding dress.

We then drove into Dundee and went to the RRS Discovery, the ship that Scott used to get to the
Antarctic. Afterwards we did a little shopping before heading back to our caravan.

Day one and two

So yesterday we spent ten hours driving to Edinburgh leaving at 5.45am with a few stops at service stations. We finally arrived around 4 and got to our caravan. After waiting for the rain to ease slightly we walked to the shop to get some food trying to avoid giant puddles and the rain.

Today we went Edinburgh zoo. It was great fun but exhausting. I enjoyed the march of the penguins.
