Sometimes it is hard to choose between the beach and the mountain for a vacation,
but there is another way.
You can choose a place where you can swim in the ocean and hike a mountain on the same day.
Hi everyone, I am Mausami, and welcome to Edinburgh.
So, it's my day 2 in Edinburgh,
and yesterday I explored the old city and Calton hill.
If you haven't checked my 1st video, please check out that video.
I have attached the link; you can watch it from there.
In my first video, you can watch how I reach Edinburgh.
Then I explored the historic and photogenic streets of Edinburgh's old city.
Then I visited Calton hill and enjoyed 360 views of Edinburgh city there.
So, Today my day will start with a Hiking and end on a beach in the Atlantic Ocean.
So, it's gonna be a long day
because Today I am going to go to many places.
So, firstly I will go for a volcanic hike,
then I will go to visit Britains's queen's palace.
Then I will go to see the Scottish parliament.
Let me tell you one interesting fact,
The cost of the parliament building was around 415 million pounds.
So, I will go there.
After that, I will go to the Scotland museum.
And, at last, I am going to the beach.
The rock behind me is Arthur's Seat.
Now, I have to go that far by tracking.
The name of this park is Hollywood Park and hiking for Arthur's Seat starts from here.
Arthur's Seat is a 365 million years old volcanic eruption,
and it will take me 1 hour to go to that highest point.
And from the above, you can see a 360 panoramic view of Edinburgh City.
It looks so much beautiful.
Today the weather is cloudy and so much pretty.
Now, I am going descending.
and the time is 9.30 am
If you ask me, How was it?
I would say - Amazing.
Right now I came to Britain's queen's palace
this is called the "Palace of Hollyrood house".
This is the queen's Scottish residence,
and she stays here for July or August for 15 days.
You need a ticket to enter inside.
You can either book it online or buy it at the ticket counter.
With the tickets, you will get an audio guide
This is an audio guide, which will have all the instructions.
You can enjoy a tour from the current lifestyle of the Royal Family to the Royal History.
In front of Hollyrood house, you can find the Scottish parliament.
And now I'm going there to visit the Scottish parliament.
This is the prime location because, On one side, you can see Holyrood House
On another side, you can find the Scottish parliament,
and behind there is Arthur's Seat, where I went in the morning.
Now I am inside the Scottish parliament, and this is how it looks from the inside.
Let's explore what the Scotland parliament looks like?
The Parliament Building of Scotland was built only a few years ago.
Its architecture contradicts Edinburgh City. Very Modern and New.
If you like modern architecture, then you will be fascinated by the building.
Now I'm inside the Scotland Museum of Scotland.
If you are interested in Scottish culture, art, and history.
This is quite an exciting place.
Now I've reached portobello.
This place is 2 miles away from the city centre.
And to come here, I took a bus from the city centre.
Portobello beach is a long sandy beach located on the shore of the North Sea,
and the colour of its water is blue and clean.
