From Galway, the next morning, we checkout out hotel awal-awal pagi lagi sebab pukul 6.40 pm kami akan fly ke Edinburgh,Scotland.Since kami sewa kereta sepanjang di Dublin dan Galway, so sebelum fly ke Edinburgh kena pulangkan kereta dulu di Dublin Airport. Urusan pulangkan kereta pun dah take time, ingatkan just droff off the key dekat mana-mana kaunter rupanya kena pergi balik ke main office. Nak ke main office kena pula naik bus, and yang paling menyedihkan bus yg sepatutnya bawa kami tu rosak..huhu..nasib baik ada bnyk masa lagi so, xde la rushing sangat..

Actually, plan asal untuk first day kami di Edinburg ialah ke Hard Rock Cafe (George Street) which is around 6 minit je daripada hotel. Disebabkan urusan check in hotel pun selesai dalam pukul 10 lebih, dengan perut yang lapar dan suhu yang sejuk, terpaksa cancel juga akhirnya. So, malam tu lepas hubby belikan dinner di restoran
Yum Yum Kebab (11 pound) kami rehat-rehat je di hotel..Layan kebab panas-panas dengan suhu yg sejuk dan perut yang lapar memang terbaikla...mata pun apalagi cepat je layu lepas dinner.hehe
Market Street, Edinburgh Old Town
Great choice for travelers interested in old town exploring, historic and architecture. Seriously, most of the building di Old Town very unique and old style, seolah-olah kita dalam dunia zaman silam.hehe

Edinburgh Castle
Scotland most famous landmark and one of Britain's most visited tourist attraction. Tempat ni memang awal-awal lagi ada dalam list sebab kalau datang Edinburgh tak masuk Edinburgh castle macam tak complete je rasa. Edinburg castle ni sangatla besar dan 2 jam duduk dalam tu pun tak sempat nak tawaf semua tempat. So, the main highlight ialah:
1) One O'clock Salute from Half Moon Battery 2) Scottish National War Memorial 3) Crown Jewel housed in the Royal Palace 4)Stone of Destiny. Kalau nak jimat masa, beli tiket online daripada menunggu lama beratur sebab kalau kena pada waktu cuti sekolah, public holiday atau Edinburgh Festival, memang lenguhla nak beratur lama-lama dengan cuaca sejuk-sejuk ni. Harga tiket ialah 20 USD utk dewasa dan kids under 5 years old free je..
Edinburgh Castle Ticket
Royal Mile
Refers to the road linking between Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse (dalam senarai tapi tak sempat nak explore). Actually Royal Mile ni sngt panjang dan di sepanjang jalan kiri dan kanan lined with charming townhouse and historic landmark, numerous souvenir shop, inns, museum, cafe and restaurant. Most of the popular attractions dipenghujung Royal Mile ialah Castel Hill which include Outlook Tower and the Camera Obscura with the outstanding views; the Tolbooth St. John's Highland Church; Glandstone's Land; a six story merchant's house with pretty ceiling painting and original funiture; and Lady Stair's Close. So, sangatlah digalakkan berjalan kaki di sepanjang Royal Mile sambil-sambil menikmati keunikan architure building di sepanjang kiri dan kanan. Souvenir shop pun bnyak dan boleh survey masuk setiap kedai utk dapatkan harga yang murah.

Nanyang Restaurant, Lister Square
Di Edinburgh, makanan halal agak senang nk cari. Basically, kalau you all cari mosque maka you all akan jumpa sekali restaurant halal, which is restaurant Pakistan dan tak lain tak bukan menunya ialah nasi beriani.ehhe..So, kalau nak jimat boleh cari makanan di situ. Sepanjang kami travel ke negara-negara eropah, akan ada restaurant halal bersebelahan masjid untuk kemudahan pelancong muslim.
In our case, kali ni memang tak sempat nk jumpa masjid sebab perut dah lapar sangat-sangat. Musim sejuk ni perut memang cepat lapar especially kalau banyak berjalan. So, at the end kami singgah di Nanyang Restaurant iaitu Malay-Chinese Restaurant. Lokasi restaurant ni agak tersorok sedikit waktu kami pergi sebab dalam square yg baru siap.2 kali juga pusing-pusing cari itu pun berdasarkan gps semata-mata..Tapi, tak sia-sia kami sesat sebab makanan kat situ memang sedap dan harga bepatutan dan sesuai dengan kualiti dan kuantiti makanan serta servis yang friendly.
TOTAL COST:
- Nasi Ayam Hainan
- Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah (ada kari ayam lagi as side dish)
- Curry Puff (Karipap Kentang)
- Satay Ayam ( 2 cucuk)
- Ice Lemon Tea
- Hot coffee
TOTAL PRICE: GBP 41
 |
| Nasi lemak mashaAllah, sedap dan side dish punyala bnyk..boleh share 2 orang sebenarnya |
 |
| Nasi Ayam Hainan pun sedap.. |
 |
| Hubby enjoyed the food sebab lapar.hehe |
 |
| Humaira as usual dgn dunianya melayan sate..curry puff 3 biji rasa tak cukup sebab sedap.hehe |
Medical School, University of Edinburgh
University of Edinburgh, Main Campus
Edinburgh Mosque
 |
| Ruang makan yang selesa dan luas. Kebanyakannnya student yg makan di sini sebab dekat sangat dengan Edinburgh University |
Edinburgh Old College, University of Edinburgh
Calton Hill and the Scottish National Monument
Provides panoramic view of the city that should not be missed. From Royal Mile kami ambil taxi ke Calton Hill sebab kaki lenguh sngt nk jalan.Bila tahan taxi, driver taxi tergelak sebab katanya Calton Hill tu dah tak jauh dah. hehe..Nasib driver taxi tu sanggup hantar kami, dapatla juga merasa naik taxi Scottish yg kecil comel tu..3 pound je kira ok la tu kan..Calton hill ni sangat luas dan panoramic view dari puncak sangat cantik.Since kami sampai pun dah nk petang, memang tak boleh nk jalan lama-lama ambil gambar sebab ada tempat lagi yang kami nk pergi lepas ni. So, i would suggest at least 1 hour kena spend di sini baru puas hati..

| Belakang tu bangunan kerajaan |
Princess Street, Edinburgh New Town
The best place utk shopping..hehe..This street sangat heaven utk yg suka shopping dari barang-barang branded ke souvenir. This street is lined with colourful gardens (Princess Garden), colourful shops and also small mall (Princess Mall, also known as Waverly Mall). So, spend extra times di sini as certain shops offer cheaper price for souvenir compare at Royal Mile.

Sebenarnya banyak lagi tempat menarik di Edinburgh yang kami tak sempat nk cover sebab kesuntukan masa dan dengan cuaca sejuk agak terbatas sikit nk bergerak pantas.Kejap-kejap je lapar nk cari tempat nak makan, belum masuk untuk ambil gambar lagi..Since Edinburgh ni banyak bangunan-bangunan lama, setiap 5 minit walks mesti nk stop ambil gambar..Macam mana tak lambat..hehe..So, kalau nk cover tempat yang kami tak sempat nak pergi, kena tambah lagi sehari baru cukup kot..Ikutkan hati nk je tambah lagi sehari jalan-jalan di Edinburgh tapi my husband nk sangat ke Glasgow sebab dah dekat dari Edinburgh..So, bila dah masuk magrib, kami terus balik hotel dan rehat sebab the next morning, kami akan ke Glasgow by train..So, jangan lupa check my next entry kalau nak tahu apa yg menarik di Glasgow...
