Edinburgh day 1

After some tearful good byes in Newcastle we again climbed aboard our coach to head north. We soon arrived to a beautiful sunny day in Edinburgh.
Our host for the next 3 nights, Alistair, greeted us at the cottages, quickly unloading the luggage and showing the girls through their rooms. What a fabulous location we are finishing the tour off at!

Interesting choice of footwear for a hike Erin!




Chelsea at the Royal Commonwealth pool for the first of several sessions. The squad we swam with has one of the GB Olympians in it. He was one of only 3 GB swimmers to swim a PB at the Olympics.




Our last game of netball for the tour was against St George's Girls School. Our girls asserted their dominance early, but to St George's credit they fought back and the game reached a high standard with Firbank winning 28 to 23 This win has meant the girls in our A team have remained undefeated on tour!

Tomorrow there is a swim session starting at 5:30am, so it will be an early morning for some! Alistair has kindly offered to take us in for the session.
Afterwards we will be having a guided tour of the city as well as visiting the Edinburgh Castle, the girls may even find time to squeeze in a shop!
