Yesterday I came back home to London after 4 amazing days in Edinburgh, Scotland. I took tons of pictures so get ready for some picture heavy blog posts!

I arrived in Edinburgh at around 13:30 on Saturday, and took the tram in to the city centre. I got off a bit to early (not planned lol) and walked the last 10 min to my hostel. The hostel I had booked had "sleeping pods" just like in Japan! Super cool! So I shared a room with 6 other girls, but since we all stayed in our "pods", it still felt very private.

Anyways, after checked in to my hostel, I decied to check out where my tour bus for the next day would depart from. Turns out it was just a 10 min walk from where I stayed! Very convenient. Next to the departure location was Calton Hill, so I decided to climb it and took some pics :D

Then I walked back and headed for old town. This is when the rain hit haha. Insaaane rain, as expected. But still, I fought through it and made it up to Edinburgh Castle. I didn't go inside but now I've seen it up close at least haha.

Due to the rain, I decided to take a break at a Prête before heading back down to New Town. I sat an read a bit at a Starbucks before walking around a bit more, trying to get to know the area and snap some pics. It was a great first day in Edinburgh :D
