On the next morning, after an extended and excellent night’s rest in the serviced London vacation flat we’ve rented, we had a breakfast and made a decision to enjoy the New Town, which like we saw on the map was set to the north direction from the Old Town and was in fact bordering it.
Tom told me we now have a lot to see in that section of the Scottish capital and I agreed upon. The very first monument to view was the Trafalgar Monument, which was constructed and arranged for the memory of Trafalgar. From there we appreciated wonderful sights over the city and made some good photographs. The next place to visit was the National Gallery of Britain where we were able to view the best fine art selections in the region. There was no entrance charge whatsoever, that was great and the exact was in force for the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, that on the other hand we couldn’t visit as it was shut for refurbishment till November 2011.

Tom was starving, therefore we purchased hot dogs and had some rest at the Princes Street Gardens, which is a small but beautifully arranged park set in between the Princes Street and the Castle Hills.
In the afternoon we climbed the Hill and next we went shopping along the Main Street, the George Street and the Broughton Street.
As this particular day was totally committed on the New Town, in the evening hours we went out of our London arranged apartment and we went to a pub we have seen during the day – The Living Room, where the menu was great and the visitors could enjoy not only the beer and the cocktails but additionally the show of the bartenders. Then we went to the Standing Order Pub and finished the night there.
