Was so great to see them again, we get on so well, they are such a laugh! We forgive them for being Australian =)
The bussed it up from London and told us all the horrendous tales - we just can't wait until 29 Feb when it's our turn to bus it down to London (9.5 hours!). They arrived at 7.30ish and we went out for a yummy italian meal on Saturday night - probably the first time we have eaten at a restaurant in 6 months so it tasted extra good! The next morning we sent them on the free walking tour (I'm the biggest ambassador for the "neweurope" free tours - they rock!). We met up after lunch and found a random old graveyard which we had walked by many times but never been in, we then went up Carlton Hill which is unmistakable with its Athenian acropolis poking above the skyline - it gives you gorgeous panoramic views of Edinburgh and is surprisingly a peaceful place to be. We'd only been up at night so it was a good touristy afternoon for us as well.
We decided to have dinner and drinks at home that night and later Mandy, Aaron and Niki went out on a ghost tour. Edinburgh is well known for these and I have heard freaky stories - there was no way I was going on it! Niki and Aaron said it was really stink though apart from going down into some cellars. Luckily dear Mandy got really scared and upset so it made it a bit more real and entertianing for the boys! meanies!
Monday morning we farewelled them but will see them again very soon as they have kindly offered to store our excess luggage and given us a place to stay overnight before flying to Egypt! YAY
