E&P on the Britannia
Sitting Room Royal Yacht
Edinburgh Skyline
After the late night we had, we slept till 8.50am this morning. Phil was in shock as neither of us had stirred during the night. Consequently we had a later start to the morning than we had planned. Decided to go on the Hop On Hop Off Bus. We purchased a ticket that included transport to the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith so that we could take the tour of the Royal Yacht. It was fantastic. We saw the Queen’s and the Duke of Edinburgh’s bedrooms and offices, the honeymoon suite where Charles and Diana stayed, the dining room where the Royal family dined and the sitting room where they played cards and games (no TVs in evidence).
We had lunch in the Royal Deck Tea Room so we can now say we have dined on the Britannia. We felt the tour was a real highlight for us and were glad we had made an effort to do it.
Caught the bus back to the city centre and got on another bus that had live commentary. We toured around the “old” town and the “new” town and heard a lot of the history of Edinburgh. Cannot believe how many pubs there are here and they were all overflowing. Some serious drinking going on.
