Greetings,
A couple weeks ago my Mom and Grammy came to town. I am going to break all the stuff that we did into a couple of blogs just so that I can cover each wonderful place we went.
When they arrived we started the bus tours immediately. There is a grand bus pass that allows you to ride 3 buses that tell different histories. These are only 15 pounds and totally worth it. We stopped and spent an hour at the Royal Botanic Gardens. The gardens are so lovely! Its 5 pounds to go into the greenhouses unless you get there after 3 then you can go in for free. There is a large range of plants from different types of environments.Then we ate at this restaurant that looked good but really wasn't that great, Belushi's. Gram declared that the next 11 days would be a big birthday celebration for me. I do believe this is the best birthday I've ever had, and it hasn't even came yet!
The next day we ended up sleeping until 12:30 p.m.! So we walked Nicholson and found mom a new jacket. Then went on our last bus tour, walked Princes Street, and did a little shopping at Primark, which is one of the best department stores I've been to. I got my birthday dress for only 5 pounds! They had the cutest stuff for reasonable prices. To finish off the evening we walked along Rose Street. We discovered the
best drink in the entire world at the Black Rose Tavern: A Ghostbuster.
It has Amaretto, Kahlua,Vodka, Baileys, milk and chocolate syrup. Talk
about YUMMMYYYY!!! Then we had some dinner at the Mussel Inn which was
really yummy as well. It was such a nice way to see the city and enjoy each others company.
Edinburgh is a great city by itself but especially when you have people there to enjoy it with you. Our next adventure takes us to Inverness, so be on the look out for that post.
Until then,
Alyssa
