Spain / Edinburgh 2013 Entry 4

In Holyrood Park, Edinburgh

We have no pictures in Edinburgh, because I took them all in 2006; and the Festival is either streets jammed with people - not interesting - or shows where you can't take pictures.

But Connie had never been to Holyrood Park, so we went, and climbed to Arthur's Seat.

But first, here's what home looks like after four days of occupancy. Maria and Yan do their work and their surfing to find shows.


Once we got going, we went down the Royal Mile and into the park. Picking the most popular walk up the first part of the peak we started up, rounded the peak, and stopped for a picture:


This might be my favourite picture of the whole vacation. Connie lights up a stunning landscape.


The classic pose of thousands of couples: from Arthur's Seat, all Edinburgh lies behind us.


But there's supper to get and shows to see, so we head down through the green and yellow parkland.
