Our last day in Edinburgh

On our last day in Scotland, we decided to venture outside the city to a little village called Duddington. Just a mile away from Duddingston is Craigmillar Castle, an old medieval ruin. We decided to check that out first. 

Again, really, really windy.

 Then, we made our way to the village. There wasn't much there, but it was just a lovely little town. Very picturesque, on a hill right by the water.

So quaint.

After that, it was so cold, and we were so tired from all of our travels, that we decided to call it a quits and went back to the hostel to relax and warm up. We ended up staying in for the evening just chilling and reading in the lounge.

The next morning we got up early and went straight to St. Andrew's Square to catch the bus back to London. It was a brutal 9 1/2 hour bus ride. It wasn't so bad though, we had each other for company.

Spending Reading Week in Dublin and Edinburgh was just fantastic, we had a spectacular time just exploring the cities and seeing the sights. I hope I can go back one day. Still, it was good to get back to London and have our own rooms again. I know I needed a break from backpacking, I was totally wiped.

 So, hello again to London town!
