WiFi and a wee castle

The WiFi was out for almost 2 days! Which would be fine except it was rainy and cold and we did not feel like going anywhere. Except for when it magically cleared up and we did go out. 

Yesterday we went to the playground, of course. But then after that we caught the bus to go and check out a wee little castle, Craigmiller Castle. Which I have to say is WAY better than Edinburgh Castle (let's call it EC). 

EC is lovely and big and is an imposing figure over the city. But it is jam packed with tourists, and it is all historical and serious. Whereas Craigmiller is was more fun. 

We walked through a big field to get to the castle. 


Where the bus dropped us off was way far from the castle. I was a bit unsure. But then we found the signs and the path and all was well. 


Silly girl in a field. 


Walking up the path to the castle. 


Going in the gate.



A wee window. 

Weird weather.

Good view. 

This is the highest point we could go. 



On the far left is Edinburgh Castle above the city. 

It was much cheaper to get in to see this castle and was much more fun to explore. We managed to leave here and catch the bus before it started to pour. And once we got back to town it had stopped raining. 

It was a fun day yesterday. However we screwed up and did not eat lunch until 3pm. We gotta get better about eating at reasonable times. We both get too grumpy! 

Happy travels to you!
