Ginger Without Borders

Finally arrived to Edinburgh – one problem: the giant snow storm that took over the rest of Europe in the past week just hit the UK and has shut everything down.

Those are the view from the hostel window, which has basically been the only part of Edinburgh I’ve seen besides the places along the bus route here. After having to drag my suitcase up a giant, snowy hill to the hostel, I was exhausted enough to sleep all day.

Side note – I really should remember that if your hostel is next to a castle, that means it is at the top of a hill. And you should take a taxi.

Hopefully it’ll be better tomorrow so I can see more of the city, but as of now the city is shut down and I’m taking shelter in the hostel, watching the snow from a distance.

P.S. Dad – I’m exhausted and freezing, but still alive. (Yes, it is the return of the ‘I’m not gonna call my dad everyday so here is proof I am alive’ sign off)
