We were in London from a grand total of 1 hour before we headed off to Cardiff, Wales. Lucky we did, because the Glastonbury festival was on in England, which meant for some reason that hostels in London were incredibly expensive – the first dorm bed was 66 pounds, and the second dorm bed option was 133 pounds! Hostels were still expensive, although just the usual type of expensive – 20 pounds for a dorm bed. We booked in to Cardiff, and checked out the gardens and surrounds of the Cardiff castle. We also walked up to Blackmoor Weir, which has been operating since the middle ages. There wasn't a great deal to see in Cardiff, and everything was incredibly expensive, so after two nights in Cardiff, we skipped out on the rest of Wales and caught two buses up to Edinburgh, Scotland. Edinburgh is beautiful, and the countryside once we hit Scotland was much improved to England. I love Scotland! Edinburgh castle is quite interesting – we saw a demonstration of an old rifle shooting, and also a cannon being shot! I think the old powder and ball rifle actually made more noise than the cannon, it was ridiculously loud. Now we're headed to Glencoe, at the base of Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in Scotland!
