Mark woke up very early on the following morning, therefore he went outside our Edinburgh accommodation for a good breakfast and a paper, then made the capuccino and woke me up. We’d a few quiet hours and then went to the first of the many monuments I had on my catalog.

The one nearest to our serviced flat in Edinburgh turned to be the National Museum of Scotland, and then we went to the Royal Museum with its Millennium Clock. Mark insisted on seeing the National Gallery of Scotland as he is a serious lover of fine art and after that he dragged me to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
I wanted some air and right after our visit along the museums, I persuaded Mark we had enough for this day and we headed towards the Princes Street Gardens where we made a picnic. The recreation area was packed with moms and dads with their children and they all seemed happy.

After dark we headed to the Leith district, which hasn’t been that close to the Edinburgh vacation apartment we were residing at, but was so wonderful that we couldn’t resist. We went to the Britannia Royal Yacht, which is on dock there and then we headed towards the Shore, which is a region of fish and chip shops, curry houses and elegant fish eating places, along with traditional Scottish bars. I picked a good brasserie called A Room in Leith, which had a waterside position and we got a good Scottish dinner.

Then Mark was the person to choose the pub we went to right after dinner and he selected The Kings Wark on the coast, which turned to be a conventional pub on the water. There we had some ale and snacks and stayed really late until we eventually got a taxi to our Edinburgh accommodation.
