Last day in Edinburgh:(

We haven't had internet for the last few days, but I have a few minutes on this bus on the way to the airport. Our wonderful hosts weren't getting WiFi until Wednesday, and we had been mooching off of the neighbors, but they shut it off and so we've been isolated for the past few days.

On Sunday, we took the train into Sterling and saw Sterling Castle (GORGEOUS) and the quaint little town. The castle was home to tons of kings and famous monarchs, including Mary, Queen of Scots, and Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's sister.

After getting back into town on Sunday night, we saw thee most amazing fireworks show, which they put on at the end of festival, right over Edinburgh Castle. It was set to music in 4 parts, which was played live by the Edinburgh Orchestra. It was absolutely stunning, and we got great seats right on Princes Street.

I'm not sure if this is the best movie or not, I took like 5- I just picked one at random because I can't watch/listen to them on the bus right now:)



Yesterday (Monday), we hopped on an early bus up to Inverness/Loch Ness. It was mayhem when we arrived trying to figure out how to get to the actual lake, but we figured it out and it turned out perfectly.

AHHH AT THE AIRPORT ALREADY GOTTA GOOOO. I'll post more when I can.. off to Dublin!
