Our first day was filled with a lush awe for the beauty that Edinburgh lavish out to her people. Pebble-stone roads, buildings with that charming old historical facade that line the whole stretch of Royal Mile and thin, crooked, dark and sinister sharp towers stabbing the white sky.
Snow fell heavily when we first stepped there, and dragging a dead weight of a luggage on wheel through the thick snow and icy roads IS SO NOT FUN! It’s like walking a terribly heavy dog that bumps into your back and make you lose your balance on ice or a massive burden on wheels.
But the whole city was beautiful. The snow that fell was those soft, powdery ones unlike the pelts of wet puff snow that falls in London. The dusty nature make pretty walkway as the snow shyly thin out at the edgs like sugar dusting on a pie.And speaking of baking metaphor, Mek dropped a case of eggs while running on ice with her heavy grocery bags.
HAHAHAHAAHHAAH.
The image of her panicking and running to cross the road and the case of eggs neatly plopped itself out of the bag into the snowy road in front of old ladies is really funny. She had to go back and picked them up, with the old ladies voicing their concern over her possibly broken eggs.
Will put up pictures. And continue with our first night which is the torch procession.
Ciao. Off to Festival Hall to get our theatre tickets

**hugs**
haha, it was terrible to be walking on ice all day long – my friend was convinced she contracted gout! It was fun though
we went to Arthur’s Seat on one of the days, and path was literally ice! We had to walk round the edges on some grassy patch all the way up the hill. But it was so fun going down
I slide down almost half the way, and ripped my leggings in the process. My bum is slightly angry, it had never been frost-bitten or shaved by jagged ice.
