Greetings from Scotland!!!!
Today we awoke in a foggy and rainy Dublin. We have determined Dublin is dreary and may be slightly overrated. Luckily, our flight took us to the hidden gem or Ireland, also known as the Cork/Blarney area.
Upon arrival, we went to the Blarney Castle. It was awesome. We somehow found a way to fit all of our backpacks through the entryways and tight corners of the castle. Yes, we were "those people" that were clearly tourists carrying a month's worth of stuff with them. At the top we kissed the Blarney Stone, and we were instantly blessed with the gift of gab.
Once we said goodbye to Cork/Blarney, we proceeded to Edinburgh, UK. There we put our new found gift of gab to the test at a local establishment called "El Stazione." We tested multiple local brews to determine which ones to drink. Upon a statistical sample performed by Darin and myself, we determined all were worthy for a couple pints.
We are now back to the hostel. It seems to have an interesting history, as it was once a church and all the rooms have an open ceiling. Tomorrow we plan on exploring Edinburgh, including the castle, Scottish Parliament, Hollyrood Palace, to name a few. Tomorrow night, we will be taking a flight to London.
Tune in for later updates!!!
