Europe (Scotland) April/May 2012


Total Expenses incurred: 47.50 pounds = Rm238 per pax
Hostel (2days) : Edinburgh Backpackers 17.50 pounds per pax (1 night-double bed room) + 8.75 (1/2 day cost sharing for day rest) + on-line service charge 2 pounds = 28.25 pounds
Souvenir: 2.50 pounds
Food & groceries: 18.80 pounds
Misc: 2.0 pounds
Transport: Eurolines Bus Pass (London > Edinburgh return)

Edinburgh, Scotland

Our Eurolines bus from London (09.00) arrived in Edinburgh at around 17.00. Due to a late afternoon check-in and a cold weather, we did not venture out at night but did some laundries and cooking at the hostel's kitchen and retired to bed earlier. 

The next morning, we spend the full day exploring the Edinburgh city. The Old Town & New Town of Edinburgh has been gazetted a UNESCO World Heritage site. We visited the section of Old Town, St John Church, Princes St Garden, North Bridge and took a picture of Edinburgh Castle from the Princess St Garden. 

In the evening, we took a Eurolines bus to London (arriving 06.00) for our connecting Eurolines bus from London (12.00) to Geneva via another bus transit in Paris (23.30). So the overnight bus journey from Edinburgh to London and then another overnight bus trip to Geneva was quite a challenging one.
