Day 2 in Edinburgh

Both boys woke me up during the night with their snoring at various time - had to get up and nudge Cameron! I thought it was just dogs, overweight people and the elderly that snored!!

Breakfast was pretty good plenty of choice and I am always amazed at how much Cameron can put away at a breakfast buffet!
We headed out to Princes Street only a 5 minute walk away to catch the No 22 double decker bus to Ocean Terminal where we would board the Britannia for a tour. The boys made a bee line for the top deck at the front of the bus and it was a great view. Lothian buses are clean and plentiful - there was no need for the extortionate amount of money spent on the trams!

The tour was very good. You get given a big device like an old fashioned mobile phone and you press the corresponding number of the area you are at. As you can see here the boys liked pulling pints at The Verge Inn bar we did spend a bit of time here! Although they both look like they have had a few themselves!

What amazed me at the sleeping quarters was the size of the bed - tootsie - that Queenie slept in - and the Duke's room directly opposite same tootsie bed and not in the least fancy.

Across the corridor was the honeymoon suite with the only double bed on the ship on the request of Charlie when he was coming on honeymoon with Diana. Jeez it was tiny too ! All soft furnishings were as they were when used. Then there was the Rolls Royce in all its glory put on board for state visits.

We all enjoyed it and it's a worthwhile and informative tour.

Lunch then back to Edinburgh heading to the Royal Museum of Scotland which is a fabulous place for kids so much interactive stuff.

Paps came from work to join use at the Museum and then we headed to the Royal Mile to Bubba Q for our tea having a civilised game of Dobble before was served - paps went for his train and we had a wander around the streets there were some buskers playing and the obligatory drunk dancing to the music :)

We were all pretty shattered so went up to the room and played some games and watch The Chase on tv before konking out at 10. I was prepared for the snoring tonight having on my waves on the shore and earphones Haha
