Newhaven, Edinburgh

We took the shuttle into town. We enjoyed walking in town with the famous castle looming over the busy streets. Stopped in shops but did not purchase anything. We decided to stay in town for lunch and have "fish and chips". We wanted to find a classic pub or a nice restaurant for our fish and chips but most of those types of establishments were not open for lunch. The few places we found did not have the atomosphere we wanted. Finally we gave us and called an uber to take us back to the ship.

So we booked an uber and it was there is literally two minutes. It showed up so fast we did not think this was our uber driver. He was just at the bottom of the street when he got the call. It was a great drive, we went up into one way streets, back alleys and tons of trees and green areas., lovely homes just a prefect drive. It cost about $8 best part of the day. The shuttle bus was on a main road with not much to look at and it took about 20 minutes. Our drive was about 10 minutes and wonderful.

On arrival at the dock the tender was just pulling in BUT we found a great fish restaurant. They sold fresh fish and had an extensive fish menu. We stayed with our desire for fish and chips. He asked do you want the regular or large size piece of fish. We went with the large. It was fantastic and BIG. Super white and flaky haddock and really delicious. The chips were really good crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Mushy peas Ken liked but I did not. Outstanding meal. We finished and a tender had arrived. We were the only two on the tender and had a private tender ride.

Tender on this stop was interesting. There was a local tender that held so many people, probably 150 to 200 people and it looked small until we got on board. We were on late and were bascially in the hull of the ship. Then there was the standard Regent tender as well.
