Because we had to run some errands today, we decided to take our weekly walk closer to home. Luckily, Edinburgh has a spectacular area for hiking right in the middle of the city:
Holyrood Park. So, after our errands, which included a final look at two flats (aka apartments) we're trying to choose between, we walked to the park. The views leading up to the park are impressive, and from various points the hills in the park dominate the skyline. The highest point, to which we walked today, is
Arthur's seat. Here's a photo looking up to Arthur's seat,
and two looking down at the area below, including one of Alette surveying the lands below.
The path we took involved a steep climb up, though a moderate climb down. There were quite a few people at the top, and dogs (though we didn't take Japhur today). And as we've come to notice often in the UK, seniors don't shy away from challenging walks or hikes.
