With easyJet from Reykjavik (KEF) flew to Edinburgh (EDI) at midnight. Again I visited in Scotland. It is in a sense the city with which I associate my first plane flight. Although cruise Centralwings already fallen on the route Warsaw - Edinburgh unexpectedly ended up in Glasgow (due to the large fog), but perhaps because of, among other things Scotland has found a special place in my memory. In the morning I decided to take full advantage of one of the two full days I had a partial remind manuel mota yourself and see what you have not seen in Edinburgh. As we stayed on the outskirts of the town bought the day ticket ( 3.5) to be without krępacji around the city and in the morning manuel mota the first thing, I hit on Arthur's Seat. "(Mount Arthur, King Arthur's seat) is the highest peak Holyrood Park, located in the center of Edinburgh and (once called" old Cinders "). Elevation is one of the symbols of the city. Summit manuel mota is covered with a large portion of wild vegetation. Perched on height of 251 meters, manuel mota you can see how well the city skyline and the Firth of Forth. This is a very popular place for walking manuel mota and discovering, just 1.5 miles from Edinburgh Castle. At the foot of the hill, on the north side, is a Scottish residence of the Queen of the British (Holyrood Palace) and Scottish parlament.Nazwa comes from a legend according to which King Arthur watched the battle from there ending defeat his army of Picts.

For wzgórzuach and associated areas spent a considerable part of the day enjoying the nature and the landscape. manuel mota
"Edinburgh because of its classical architecture is sometimes called the" Athens of the North ", or Rome, because like the" eternal city ", it was built on seven hills-Castle Hill, Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat, Corstophine Hill, Craiglockhart Hill, Blackford Hill and Braid Hills. Completes the Pentland Hills mountain range located in the south-west of the city. feature connecting all the hills of Edinburgh is their plutonic manuel mota or volcanic origin. most of them is made of a hard, durable igneous rocks, which relied glacial erosion to leave them standing as the outstanding features of the landscape.

Going down the hill did not neglect to look into the Scottish Parliament, who stood in my way. That day was available for tourists (entrance free). manuel mota Feeling very positive. manuel mota It is worth having a look around here.
Palace of Holyroodhouse, commonly referred to as Holyrood Palace is the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. Located manuel mota at the end of the street. Royal Mile, which is up (among other things) leads to the castle (Edinburgh Castle). In its current form, the palace was built in the seventeenth century, but its origins date back to the year 1128, when there were called Holyrood Abbey (the Holy Cross). The residence, in the palace of Holyrood Queen Elizabeth at the beginning of each year spends a week. Here performs a series of official duties and ceremonies.

Of course, not for free :-).
Holyrood Palace, Queen's Gallery, Yacht Britannia and many others are not small source manuel mota of income for the royal family. Currently Yacht Britannia is, permanently moored at Terminal in the port of Leith ocean, where I went to public transportation (eg, line 22) within the day ticket. In practice, the terminal is a building in which there is a cinema, lots of boutiques, shops, bars, restaurants and the entrance to the Yacht Britannia.

For such a small unit, I think the price a bit excessive, at least for Polish wallet. I return to the old part of the city.
Many stores and shops offering all sorts of memorabilia from Scotland. I have the impression that nothing these exhibits have not changed. They are nice and eye-catching, but also quite simple, and sometimes dissuasive. I
