Edinburgh and the expensive whiskey

It's funny to look back on the last couple posts I've made going " this is a great city, this one is a welcoming one" etc etc

But so far in this adventure, we made it across the ways and made it into Scotland, we have found that Edinburgh truely has it all.

Incredible buildings and Landmarks, easy to navigate yourself around the city centre, open and welcoming, beautiful city park with squirrels and many many MANY Christmas lights, we had even walked in on a tree lighting in one of the many parks around the place, which was being held for one of the local hospices.

Afterwards, we looked for a bar, and when you can't decide which bar, make a rule to visit after X amount of bars passed and that you have to go into it. We found this a very fun game, trying different drinks, checking out different bars and found the best outdoor bar/ beer garden based in the city centre, having several choices, live music and cheeessssyyyy van, can't go wrong with that.

As the title states, in the adventures of just walking the streets, i spotted a whiskey shop, with a huge range, bottles from every part of the world, but the most expensive bottles were in a locked glass cabinet, how pricey? £200? £2000? No its £35,000 and the other bottle was £22,000. And £ To $aud adds to nearly $90,000 for both. With how many homeless people we see everyday on the streets, its amazing things like that and someone would probably pay for them.

Other cool things in Edinburgh, is the massive fortifications and castle, situated near the centre of town, overlooking the city, the Scotland national museum worth the hours spent in here, the national Art gallery as well, both are which are free entry

Its funny seeing the things they have here like being able to buy alcohol with dinner at a fast food joint eg, the five guys burger joint where you can have a milkshake with whiskey in it, only thing is just having to buy food with it, or even in the massive christmas festival areas and having hot chocolates with baileys and noone has a problem, where as Australia is a massive nanny state in comparison, but thats for another time and rant.

Edinburgh has ALOT more to often , alot more to show, see, experience and is one of the only places me and sophie would happily visit again if we had the chance to come back here, and have a bigger budget and more time. But thats also the charm, it leaves you wanting to come back, to walk up its many road on steep grades or many steps in hidden alleyways to find with small bars in there.

Edinburgh, thank you for the good times.
