Edinburgh, Scotland




We took a train from Inverness to Edinburgh, which was incredible because we got to watch the gorgeous Scottish highlands and countryside roll by, while having fun playing a very competitive game of spades.



Edinburgh was a blast.  We only had one evening there, so we really had to make our time count.  We went out to dinner and explored the Edinburgh nightlife for a few hours, which was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend.

Then Ellen, JW, and I decided we needed to do the Edinburgh sightseeing around 2:30am, naturally.


So we hiked up Calton Hill to see the city from above and all the beautiful monuments up there.


Boy, was it incredible to witness with no other tourists in sight, the city all lit up, and the shadows of the monuments hanging over us, just barely visible by the light of the city below.


Perfect way to enjoy all of Edinburgh before heading back home to Maastricht the next morning!
