We started our Sunday at the King’s Cross Rail Terminal and began the second leg of our journey…to Edinburgh.  We boarded the train on Platform 0 for the six hour journey.  Our train rolled through locations such as Cambridge and York, and skirted the far eastern coastline of Great Britain.  The rural scenery reminded me much of home in Indiana.

Once at our destination, we were given a general tour of the city by bus before arriving at our hotel.  Before our dinner of fish and chips, we spent a little time walking nearby.  Genny and I both agreed that we like Edinburgh much better than London.  It seems cleaner, and is definitely smaller, despite being more hilly.  You might use the comparison of Phoenix vs. Bisbee to put in an Arizona perspective.
