Edinburgh Scotland

So I had this past Sunday off and here in Edinburgh there is an extremely large hill that's called "Arthur's Seat". It isn't a hill it's a group of hills all overlapping one another and when at the top you can see the entire city of Edinburgh. I had been planning on climbing it for some time now so today seemed like the day to do it. 

First off much bigger when your actually climbing it compared to seeing it from the city streets. It towers over the city and I can see the hills from almost everywhere I have gone so far. 

I did it in the evening which wasn't the best idea because it was so windy, I climbed the one side to the top and then realized I had climbed the wrong one, because looking out I could see another hill much higher. So I didn't get to the highest point but I intend to go back and do the bigger one on one of my next days off. 

My accommodation is booked for my Paris trip! I'm staying at someone's flat that rents a room out to people. The room has a 3 person bunk bed from the looks of it so dear god lets hope I'm on the bottom or at least middle. But it's good because I will only have 2 other roommates. 

Staying here was the cheapest place I could find that was still in the city centre of Paris. I was told from various people that you should stay in the centre because travel costs alone would add up if you stayed outside of the centre. So may aswell pay that extra money and be in the centre, that way your saving travel time too. 

Still waiting to hear back from my friend jadyn on whether or not she can do the Italy trip with me. Fingers crossed she can because it's going to be a 7-10 day trip and it would be great to spend it with another person!

Wasn't the best path to walk on at times

View from my flat. 3rd floor, stairs only, more than 80 stairs to the top. Needless to say I hate getting groceries!
