Edinburgh Castle

Getting off the bus, we had a clear view of the Edinburgh castle high on its hill. I had such a great first impression of this city. I don’t know what exactly it was, but the overall layout, the city dynamics and not to mention the beautiful gothic architecture was very appealing to me. We hiked up the hill to get to the castle (if my legs are not in the best shape of my life after my study abroad trip, I don’t know what I did wrong…lol). The view from the top was incredible. One one side, you could see the city buildings with the ocean in the background. On the other, you could see more of the city with beautiful green hills in the distance.
