Today we decided to go for a bike ride to see some of the suburbs of Edinburgh, but not after going to a restaurant called Monster Mash, which specializes in sausage and mash (you can choose what type of sausage, mash, and gravy you want!). It was so good! We lovea sausage!
I was a little timid about getting on the bike. I was afraid I was going to fall over since I haven’t been on one in years, well, at least not a non-stationary bike :) but I did fine. We biked around and outside of the city to the shore where the North Sea meets Scotland. It was really beautiful and really nice out. Here are some pictures we took along the way.
Arthur’s Seat:
Random fields:
At the Shore. Notice anything wrong in this picture?
There’s no water under those boats. Must be low tide - real low.
Shoreline:
Leith Links (a really nice big park in Leith, a suburb of Edinburgh):
Port O’ Leith bar (had to stop for a beer after 3 hours of riding):
After riding, we were worn out, but we wanted to watch the rugby finals between England (underdogs) and South Africa. So we showered and went down to our hotel bar to eat and watch the game there. Too bad we have barely understand any of the rules for rugby, but it was entertaining, and England didn't get completely demolished (South Africa won 15-6). What a strange game.
Now we are exhausted and going to bed early. We're going to bike a little more tomorrow morning, and maybe, just maybe, climb to the top of Arthur's Seat. We'll see... Scotland has gone by way too fast.
