Wow! What a busy day today was. We started at 7am by going for an hour long power walk along the river again. It was much prettier first thing in the morning as the sun was coming up. We then went back to the hostel, showered and packed our bags ready for the day. After that we headed up to the dining room for breakfast. I still eat Greek yoghurt and muesli for breakfast, I love it. I also now eat scrambled eggs. At breakfast we made rolls for the day so we don't have to buy lunch and took boiled eggs for snacks. Then we headed out for the day. We did a walking tour around the old town, directed by Diana. We saw fountains, churches, castles, statues and cemeteries. We then went and did some winter shopping as it is cooler here and will only be getting colder from here on. I bought boots, a scarf, a beanie, a jacket and some jeans. I also bought winter exercise tights and a hair straightener. Next we walked across a bridge over the river to the new side of town. It was much quieter and there were less tourists. After some more shopping we went back to the hostel to drop all our bags off before climbing the castle. The walk up to the castle was long and very steep and we had been walking all day so we were b*****ed. Once inside the castle we walked around and saw the bedrooms of where people used to sleep. Some rooms still had the original wallpaper on. We walked around the whole castle (lots of stairs and steep paths) and got some magnificent views from the very top. We had dinner at the restaurant at the top of the castle with amazing views. Everything looks so green and fresh, it was nice eating up there with Diana. Then we headed home, showered and got ready to go out for the night. We went to a few different bars and met lots of new people to chat to. It was a good night. Photo is of me and one of the views from the castle.
