Edinburgh, Day II

The plans for today changed. Originally, we were going to get up and go into the city again. Eric was tired and I decided to forgo the trip in. The cost of both of us making the round trip (using a shuttle to get to the train and then taking the train) would have been about 76 pounds or close to $100. All that just so we could spend more money in town! I decided to make it a day of rest instead.

We had a late breakfast and then I played trivia ( a very popular activity on board). We were playing for a Princess lanyard. Each time trivia is played, usually twice a day, the prize varies. My team got 18 out of 20 correct, many of them because I know a lot of  useless stuff. Any way, it's a good way to meet new people.

From what I understand, we have been very lucky with the weather here. Although it is more grey than sunny most days, we haven't had a ton of rain. Yesterday, our tour guide told us how lucky we were. The day before, while leading a tour at Edinburgh Castle, it was pouring and the wind was so strong it literally blew her off her feet! I'm glad we weren't there that day.
