Day 6-Today was our first and last full day in Scotland. Okay so I’ve been getting up at seven every morning, London time, and taking a shower. Well, in Scotland, it says light very late and starts getting light at about three. Well, I woke up at 3:30, and seeing it was light, tried to take a shower! Luckily I had a clock to prevent that from happening. Later on, we had breakfast at a small restaurant across the street from us. They had marvelous chocolate croissants! After that, we made our way up the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle, where we took a guided tour. There was lots of historical whatnot, so it was okay, and the guided tour was better than those dull audio tapes. Ellery’s thoughts on Edinburgh Castle: it was very fun! Cool stuff! The Crown Jewels were awesome! Moving right along. Next we went to the place right next to that terrible place we went last night. Here, everything was better: right up there in terms of taste, service, and food. Their pizza was delish! They even gave us lollipops and mints with the check. Ellery’s thoughts on that one place: They gave me a heart shaped pizza! It was good! Then we went to the Holyrootplace or ummmm, Holyroodpace or, Holyoodroot Palace- I don’t know! Oh, I remember: Palace of Holyroodhouse! It’s the queen’s official residence in Scotland, where she stays in the summer months. It was pretty cool, but we had to listen to audio tapes, which I’ve said before is DULL!! (By the way, I bought a lovely Celtic pendant at the Edinburgh Castle store for ten pounds. It’s a lovely ring style with a Celtic knot pattern, symbolizing the innterconnectedness of all things.) After that, we went home for down time, then out to eat at Elliot’s across the street. They had good food and great service-and a great dessert! Tomorrow we leave for Paris, and I can’t wait!
