Trip to Scotland - April 5th thru 19th

April 5th - Edinburgh

We arrived relatively late in Edinburgh city and tried to check-in in our hostel, but the beds were not ready, or let's put it right, the bed sheets had to be washed and because it was the weekend before Easter, the whole hostel was fully booked. We left our suitcases in the room (two French guys were already asleep) and left again, strolled through the city and had our dinner in front of the church watching tour guides at their work.
When returning, our sheets were still not ready and we had to wait in the lobby. Finally, around 11pm we could return to our beds, dress them up and go asleep. We tried to be quiet, to not switch on the lights for too long. But only minutes after we finally had laid down, the guys got up, dressed and went out for partying. So we started chatting. Two Australian girls came in, and we shared our amusement about the guys.
Not to forget!, we met an American lady in the bathroom who informed us that the only hot shower was ours, under the roof. She said that this was the worst hostel ever and she and her family had loved the one they stayed at in Berlin.
Well, to be honest, this was not the worst hostel we were to stay at on our journey through Scotland, but we didn't feel to much encouraged by her either...
