Edinburgh CastleEdinburgh CastleEdinburgh Castle

This is the castle across the street... beautiful... but haunting in a way
Ok so we arrived in Edinburgh, SCotland.. It had to be the scariest flight ever!! well first off we had to wake up at 4am to catch a bus to our ryan air flight. The bus ride was another hour and a half and then the time to load our baggage up on to our flight. I knew we had a prblem with having overage on baggage weight at the airport.. how abou the school had to front about 1500$ in overage charges...eeeeeeek... o well so we finally got on the flight and all was well until we hit such bad turbulence crossing over to Scotland!!! jen and i seriously cried our eyes out as everyone was laughing at us, but it wasnt funny!!! it was terrible. an irish boy sittin next to us was asking if we were ok... but finally, we arrived in SCotland and came to find out we had to switch the pound.. which means our u.s. dollar is worht pretty much 50cents... yippeee

we arrived and as we arrived we had to lug our baggage to the top of this enormous hill.. i thought i was about to fall backwards. We finally reached the top
The Royal MileThe Royal MileThe Royal Mile

our street we stayed on.. its cobblestones!!
and to my surprise our hostel was right across the street from Edinburgh castle, and welll directly on the Royal Mile. Our hostel is supposively an old mental institution, thank god we dont have to stay here for too long since we are leaving for our mcbackpackers trip in 2 days.. and surprise!!! ITS HALLOWEEN NIGHT!!! and were in one of the scariest and haunted places in the world! we just got our tickets to a edinburgh ghost walk... this should be fun on halloween night... the town actually celebrates it for 5 days straight!!

here are some pics from when we arrived.... enjoy!
