Edinburgh: things to do and not to do and everything in between

 
This is Victoria Street, next to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh. Lawa bak hang. Victoria Street ni best sbb  korang blh venture into some budget shopping. There are souvenir shops (plenty kt royal mile) and lines of coffee shop. mmg best minom kopi dgn cuaca Edin nih. It's windy cos Victoria St. and Royal Mile are on top of the hill in which kt puncak tu adalah Edinburgh Castle (famous landmark) and down below adalah Holyroodhouse Palace aka The Queen Summer Palace. Kat Victoria St. ni, ada world famous keju; IJ Mellis Cheesemonger. Boleh je masuk nk feeling2 beli cheese. They provide sample. Tapi jgn la makan lebih2. That's just too obnoxious and nanti kena rolleyes pulak. haha.
Who's shooting whom?

Ok this one taken whilst we went on tracking up the hill from behind the Edinburght Castle. The usual tourist route would be walking straight from the Royal Mile. But since this is like the 3rd time, we figured might as well venture a lil bit into the other side of this infamous location.Walk a lil bit more, then akan jmpa the staircase to the castle. FYI, gambar gua tu, the stairs is on my right, depan sikit daripada kontena kuning tu :). So, kitorang tracking dari jln belakang, lalu century old cemetery yg not at all scary. In fact, sangat hype and alive. Siap ada cafe and bookstore lagi . Lps cemetery, kena climb sikit naik atas lalu back garden yang sangat gorgeous baru la jumpa jalan raya. 




 ok, yang kat atas ni pix taken from various angle di Royal Mile. We stayed here. Very convenient, plenty of places to go about, a lot of historical site to visit. and kalo korang jenis yang tak tido malam boleh pegi Scottish Pub yang bersepah kat sini, as many as its coffee shops. The best time to visit the pub is during the weekend or Friday nite. The pubs here really put on a show. Ada street performances and all. 



The night we arrived. My first trip here and it was Friday night. Plenty of street performances from the pubs to attract crowd. Memang ramai la orang sbb Royal Mile ni mmg tourist area. Plus, this is a very old town, 500++ years old and yang bestnya, the buildings are still intact and used by the people here. Cuma, diorg preserve dan rasanya mmg dapat status UNESCO mcm Georgetown Penang dan Bandaraya Melaka tu la.




hahaha gua tau, mmg agak vain. keh keh. various shot from behind the edin castle to royal mile to the world's end
