White Easter

Day 12

When I checked into Caldonian Backpackers I had to search the 36 bed dorm room for my bed. While I was looking some guy (Italian I think) told me to stop looking, that I could just use his bed. In your dreams buddy.

As it was Easter there wasn’t a whole lot going on. I decided to climb up the hill mountain thing to a point called Arthur’s Seat. After huffing and puffing my out of shape self up the sometimes precarious trail I had finally made it. I wanted to run around and cheer, but then people might have thought I was crazy. It was also snowing a bit at this point and I didn’t want to slip on the rocks.

One odd thing I noticed while I was up there. There were several families throwing hard boiled eggs down the hills. I couldn’t figure out if they were cheering because they broke quickly or if it was when the rolled for a while. Does anyone have any idea why they would do this?

It was afternoon by the time I had come down from Arthur’s Seat. There still wasn’t a lot going on so I decided to go to the movies again. This time to see 10,000 BC. Don’t bother, wait for the DVD.

Back at the hostel I grabbed a couple of drinks with some of the other people staying in my room. It was a quiet Easter, but it was kinda cool that it was a white one.
