This morning I slept in a little bit since I’m sure that I won’t be getting much sleep for the next 24 hours or so with all of the traveling to get back home. I finished packing up all of my stuff and got some lunch. After lunch, Brittany and I headed down to Holyrood Park (right by Arthur’s Seat and the Salisbury Crags) for a parade that is part of the festival called The Cavalcade. There were tons of people lining the streets and we got prime standing area right at the curb near the very start of the procession. The parade was really cool and started off with Harley Davidson rides, Farrari cars, a whole variety of bagpipers and bands from around the world, some floats, and lots and lots of groups of actors and dancers passing out flyers and trying to promote their shows. It was very lively and diverse and a great way to spend some of the last few hours here in Scotland!
We came back to the flat to finish getting ready to depart and now I’m just playing the waiting game until it’s time to catch a cab to take the train back to London where we have to try to find a way to get from King’s Cross to the airport for our flight a little after 9 am tomorrow morning. We’re hoping to be able to get the last tube ride to Heathrow Airport but we don’t have much room for error so it might be a bit of an adventure finding alternative transportation. I’m sure we’ll figure something out and I will be back in Michigan by noon-ish tomorrow! I can’t believe that my month overseas is already over! It has flown by and has been packed with great experiences and loads of memories! Goodbye, Europe! I’ll have to make my way back over here sometime soon ☺
