Holyrood Abbey

Recommended by Karin Connor

in response to kelsey

Looking for recs for a trip to Edinburgh, Belfast, and Dublin next week. I've hit the classics in Dublin already, but it's my first time in the other two cities!

Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Visit

Edinburgh castle is fun, but OMG so crowded. Holyrood abbey is close and less crowded and beautiful ruins with interesting history. Also vintage shopping in the haymarket and there used to be a place on the royal mile close ish to the castle with amazing violet ice cream.

Ha ha same. On the protein front 1) Icelandic skyr yogurt-way more protein then greek ans tastes good! Full taste, not weird like added protein yogurts. Trader Joes has some good flavored versions ( I wish they also made plain) 2) Cottage Cheese- never had much luck cooking with it but in a bowl with tomatoes and everything but the bagel seasoning or with some type of chutney on top.  As for weights, I keep a set of adjustable weights by the washing machine and do a few reps when I change the laundry. I hate workout clothes.
