sooo Arthur's Seat was described to us as a 'warm up' hike for the next days venture. They said it was a 'light 1 hr ascent up Scottish hills' that would have a great view of the city. They got 2/3 right. Definitely a 1 hr ASCENT, and it had a great view. BUT PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE AMERICANS AND THE ONLY EXERCISE WE GET IS FROM THE COUCH TO THE KITCHEN! I don't care if that old couple or the 3 yr old learning to walk passed me, EUROPEANS WALK EVERYWHERE! and I was out of breath within the first 5 minutes! Stupid me decided that since it was only a 'light hike' I'd just wear my Toms instead of the actual exercise shoes I brought for the next day. Big mistake.
After nearly passing out and rolling down the side of a mountain we finally reached the top. Pouring sweat and red as a lobster, I still managed to pose for about 200 photographs. My legs felt like jello on the way down and for the most part I just hobbled along as gravity took over and carried me down the hills.
