Day 5 8:11 pm Edinburgh

Wow, don't really know what we were expecting when we got off the train but it was not a leisure ten minute walk like the hostel said it was. Dragging our weight we got to the hostel, admiring the nice buildings and the road work making us do loops around the road. We got there and after endless flights of stairs found our room. We have a German girl we haven't met yet and a lovely Argentinian girl Dominique in our room. We had pizza hut for dinner, stuffed crust and we ate all but two slices before hitting up the National Gallery of Scotland which was in our fortune because it was open late only tonight and we were able to look around. My first viewing of an El Greco. Again more rambling about how flipping cool paintings can be. Walked down Princes Street, almost got Stephanie a Highland Cow calendar but did not buy it as there was no way I could get that home in my bag. Back at the hostel now having gone for paying £1 for 1 hour and I really hope mom doesn't mind. My lappytop would not connect but it probably will now :( and if it does then I get free but whatever. Stupid internet. Going on a free tour tomorrow and then maybe Cowdenbeath which is exciting.
