On Monday, we took a tour of the Royal Britannia. I made this slideshow of the highlights. I was impressed with the modesty of the Queen’s chambers. My favorite space was where the Queen would have tea in the morning; a very sunny room facing a large cheerful deck. Also, they sell fudge on ship, so Errin & David bought some and shared. Yummy!
Later in the day, we walked to the Edinburgh Palace. Rajiv took the tour, Nalan had a teleconference for work, while the rest of us enjoyed lunch. We went back to the flat after this and said goodbye to Nalan & Rajiv. We were sad to see them leave, but we have already started thinking about our next rendezvous!
In the afternoon, we took a walk about Edinburgh. Sights seen: National Monument, Nelson’s Monument, Princes Street Parks, James Clerk Maxwell Memorial, and Alexander Graham Bell’s Birth Place.
We had dinner at the Ghurka Brigade, a Nepalese Restaurant. We had chicken momos, pokharas, sag aloo, and lamb curry. We ended up with take out food, and it was delicious.
After dinner, we went back to the flat and Errin showed us how to play Plants Vs Zombies. She has completely mastered the game, so it was neat to get the beta about winning strategies!
