Edinburgh

Had a day out to Edinburgh. I almost over slept. That's because I had to be up at 5am and I really didn't want to get up at that ungodly hour. Anyway, caught the train from Bolton and arrived in Edinburgh at 9.30am which was great. Oooo, even Waverley Station was impressive. We had a look around the city and I loved the little alleyways leading off the main streets. It's a really interesting city and not really to be covered in just the one day but we tried.

We had mainly gone to see the Christmas market and I loved how the park was completely converted into a winter wonderland. Looked great at night time with all of the lights.

Just to break the day up a little, we caught a bus out to Portobello beach and had a walk around there. The sea was a magical, pale blue. The sea I'm usually looking at is in Blackpool and is the colour of mud.

We had the worst chinese meal ever...but Edinburgh was great. I want to visit again....
