This morning I woke in the youth hostel, which I forgot to mention was a converted church. The night had been fraught by the neighbouring bed being occupied by a couple who spent a majority of their night having sex; it's quite unnerving to be sleeping literally inches away from a shagging couple who you've never met, all the time in a church. We were quite glad to be leaving the place, and we made our way to Darroch's brother; James' flat. I haven't spoken to him properly for years but he is ridiculously sound, along with his flatmate Tim. James works for Historic Scotland so we got free entry to Edinburgh Castle, somewhere I've never been as it is usually so extortionately expensive. It is an impressive castle to go around, with some amazing architecture. The crown jewels display was somewhat underwhelming as the main attraction of the crown actually looks tacky; I much prefer the old gold crowns as opposed to the modern fluffy, jewel encrusted, shiny, toy-like crowns. After this we proceeded to go around Edinburgh, where I bought MEAD and a new, good quality ukulele.
Dinner was a takeaway pizza from a place listed as Britain's Best Pizzeria: it was incredible. Lastly, we played Risk which me and Darroch had never played. Unsurprisingly Darroch and My team were defeated but it was a great game.
Another excellent day, and tomorrow is a dead cert at being a continuation as we are seeing Marina and the Diamonds. HUZZAH.
