Scottish weather

The first of January was horrible: raining all day, so we did nothing :D Is that what my year is going to be like? They say the way you spend New Years Eve and Day is how your going to spend your year... :D We shall see..

Anyway the next day there was actually some sun to be seen and after having breakfast we were motivated to go out exploring :) While we were getting dressed it started raining again (quite heavily, I'm not whining about some drizzle). We thought to revise our plan and go underground to Mary King's close first... 

When it was time to leave the rain had stopped :) On the bus we were lucky to sit on the first seats upstairs :) Today was going to be a good day. Until it started raining again, then it got worst and a mixture of snow and rain started to fall down... Did I mention the howling wind???????? And we were supposed to get off in a couple of stops!!!!

Mr. Special was slightly concerned because we were gonna go and explore Deans Village, which is just basically walking around marvelling at houses. Do you see the problem? But I told him to stay put and we'll see when our stop comes. Guess what!!!! Rain/snow had stopped and the sun was coming out again :)

Did I mention the bus journey was about 10 minutes long... Luckily enough the whole time we were walking and taking photos it was nice and sunny :) then when we finally made it back to Princes street and the shops it started raining again. An obvious sign that I should go shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay :) When I was done, the rain had stopped again for us to go check how big is the queue to the big Wheel and make our way to Mary King's Close.

How lucky were we? :) 

Despite of Mr. Special claiming that "No one knows about Mary Kings Close, so it won't be busy and you can't book online blah blah blah", it turned out that all the tours that day were sold out (booked) and booking for the next day was extremely suggested. And guess what? You could book online :)

Ttyl ;)
