we reached Edinburgh close to 2am. checked into our hostel. 16 people sharing a room, my friends and i were lucky enough to be sharing the room with other girls. the toilets were shared with everyone on the floor though, so it could get really squeezy at times. and some girls were really uncomfortable sharing the toilets with the guys, ah poor souls.
with the hostel owner
on the stairs. poor jerry, being the only guy, became our photographer for the day! well actually, he was aida's photographer for the day.
