I started the day the right way: with a delicious breakfast of stafidopsoma — soft, hearty raisin bread rolls, similar to bagels — and a cup of Greek coffee. ☕The coffee surprised me in the best way: larger than Italian espresso, smooth, and to-go, which made it perfect for the walk ahead.

Info Blurb Day 2 in Scotland brought fall colors, castle views, centuries of history, and (of course) rain 🌧️. From wandering through the golden paths of Princes Street Gardens to exploring Old Town, historic cemeteries, Calton Hill for sweeping city views, and finishing with the most decadent crepe imaginable 🍫🥔, I discovered Edinburgh one cobblestone…
