Day 1...Edinburgh and Tour Welcome

Our first stop was an "urban hike" described in the Rick Steves guidebook in Holyrood Park.  We started to climb to the peak of Arthur's Seat, but we were way too sleepy!  Jetlag stinks.

​

So instead we sat on a rock to ponder St. Anthony's chapel, which you can see in my photo.  The chapel is at least 600 years old; there's a record of the Pope donating money for repairs in 1426.

​

We pondered for quite some time, but there's a point when resting on a rock becomes sleeping in the park like a vagabond.  We moved on when we reached that point.
