Solitary travel or not, I continue to learn to try new things, even in a city I know well. At the moment I am sitting at the Element, a restaurant on Rose Street in New Town, enjoying my second day of eggs Benedict of the trip. But this learning has nothing to do with the eggs; I know all about them! Rather, it is this: do not to judge a restaurant by its exterior.
The outside was not much, but I was hungry and decided to step inside, and to my surprise, into an inviting pub and restaurant. In the back room were folks enjoying coffee with breakfast, or as was the case since it was near noon, enjoying wine or beer with their fish and chips.
Edinburgh seems to be filled with these kinds of eating spots. The same menu all day and welcoming us to pull our a computer, whereas ‘in the old days’ it would be a book.
