Rule Britannia

November 30, 2008
Rule Britannia
Wanting to visit the port area of Edinburgh, Kim and I took a bus out to the North Sea. We decided to visit the royal yacht Britannia which was decommissioned in 1997 and is now a tourist attraction. We toured the several levels of the yacht including the state rooms which were not as grand as I thought they would be. I also can’t agree the queen’s taste in décor. The crew areas were also really interesting to see as well as the engine room. Enjoy these pictures:

Hi Nancy

Glad you liked Edinburgh. Had you heard of walk talk tours? - the downloadable audio tours of Edinburgh, York, Manchester and London to play on your MP3 or iPod. Ideal for independent travellers like you.

Take a look at www.walktalktour.com and see what you think.
