Today we were going to go for another bike ride, but we woke up with sore throats again (we had sore throats yesterday too), so we decided to take it easy. And good thing too, because when we got on the bikes to return them, our butts were SO sore, we could barely make it to the bike rental company! :) When we buy our own bikes (which we plan to do in Raleigh), we are making sure they have nice cushiony seats!
So we returned the bikes and then walked down the Royal Mile to do a little (and I stress little) shopping. We are the funniest tourists. Our idea of walking around the city and doing a little shopping consists of going in two stores (where we bought three things total) and then heading to a pub where we know we like the food and beer :) So that's what we did. I believe we spent about 30 minutes shopping and then we walked to the pub (and on the way saw a bagpipe player playing for money - sort of like you'd see in a Boston T station, where a guy plays a recorder for money - and we didn't think the bagpipe player was very good, but it was still kind of cool) and had a late lunch. It was great. Then we went back to the hotel and slept for an hour and a half :) We're so lazy.
So the rest of the night we just took it easy and packed. Tomorrow we leave for Dublin. I can't believe the trip to Edinburgh is over already! But it was the perfect amount of time. See you in Dublin!

Make sure you get a Dublin Pass at the visitors center. Its like 20 bucks american ( whatever in eros/pounds ) and can/will get you into over a dozen main tourist sites by skipping the lines.
