On the road

Enjoyed our 36 hours in Edinburgh - what a beautiful city with the castle on the hill (extinct volcano) overlooking the town.

We picked up a car in Edinburgh and have been on the road the past 2 days looking around.  The little country towns are great to see, and the volume of historic monuments just incredible.  Whilst it didn't look like much, my most memorable was seeing Hadrian's Wall, the northern boarder of the Roman empire.  For one it was amazing it was still intact roughly 1,900 years latter, two it's size - height, width, and length (from one side of England to the other), and then just thinking about how far it was from Rome and what an incredible feat their Empire was.

Tomorrow Oxford, then on a train to France.
