In Edinburgh

April 29

Kilometers: 14

Ascent: 115

Today my original plan was to take a bus to Winchburg today and start walking my route, but due to my accident I felt I needed another day to make sure that everything is fine. So I was in no hurry to get up this morning. My room at the hostel is so quiet and I had a great night's sleep, all alone in a 6 bed room. Then, all of a sudden, a girl was climbing down from one of the other bunk beds. I thought I heard a noise last night, that must have been her coming in.

Aftersiling 2 resupply parcels to Oban and Montrose I spent the day walking in Edinburgh. First, to Waterstones for a Coke, toast and cake. Then down to Princes Street Gardens, up to the Royal Mile and finally down to the Royal Botanic Garden. 

Up to the Royal Mile

I've felt ok walking today. I can't say that everything is great but I think I'll be fine. Funny thing is my arm muscles are extremely sore. I must have flexed them trying to brace my fall. It's hard just to lift them 😂

Back at the youth hostel I went down to the kitchen to see if anyone could witness my signature for my EU parliament vote. A German and a Dutch man helped me and I can mail my vote tomorrow. Finally I could go upstairs and pack. The plan was to get an early start tomorrow morning, but while I was packing I realized that my tent pegs were missing. They probably fell out when I fell yesterday. Luckily, I know how to get to Tiso! 

Voting is important!
