Well this morning we woke up and had some breakfast and then went and did some stuff. Then we went to the Royal Mile again and did a bit of shopping and they walked down to the Hollyrood Area. This is where the Palace of Holyrood is, thats where the Queen stays, and where Our Dynamic Earth is. We went to Dynamic Earth and it was awesome. Its called a museum but realy its a science center it leads you back in time and you see how the universe and earth was created and how it is today and what could happen in the future. This was Edinburgh's millineum project. Then we went to Hollyrood Park and Arthurs Seat. Arthurs Seat is this huge mountain surounded by lots of smaller hills. We walked and climbed and hiked all around for hours, eventually climbing to the tip top. The views were incredible! Then, in all Scotish nature, it started raining, so we took our time getting down and eventually made it back here to the hostel where we made dinner. We made pasta with red sauce, had some spiced up bread, strawberries (i like those now...) bananas and a fruit similar to clemintines. For desert we are having cookies and baklava.
Its so beautiful here, I believe this to be my favorite city and I can't wait to return in the future. Its weird being inside our hostel with full sweats and even a hat on and going to bed with comforters where as when we get home it will be twice as hot. I think it would be most beautiful here during Christmas time if anyone is looking for a good vacation spot-here one is!
Well we're gonna have desert and maybe watch some of Johnny English before bed.
Love you all! See you in a few days!!
