Stop #7 Edinburgh (South Queensferry), Scotland

 Day 10- Sept. 25, Thursday 

Today was super cool! We toured all around the awesome old city of Edinburgh and then the castle. Our tour left the ship at 1:30 till 6pm. We had a great tour guide that told us lots of information about everything, which none of it I remember. I will just post lots of pictures! I took 92 and LaVerl took more. He was not able to tour the castle with me- too much walking.

We had to ferry across on the 'tender boats', the bridges were amazing. The red one was for the trains!

Here 'college' means school. We saw little boys running around on the soccer field.

Our guide was Scott, he was great!

Beautiful OLD buildings everywhere!!!

Then we went to Edinburgh Castle, where the Crown Jewels of Scotland are. 

I couldn't take pictures of the Crown Jewels, but there were pictures outside.

The fireplaces in the castle are MASSIVE!

I learned that it was Scotlands King James that commissioned a new version of the Bible to be written into what we now call 'the King James Version'. 

Ok, that's enough castle pictures, it was just so cool!!

We walked back down the Royal Mile to get to our bus.

LaVerl went to bed and I went to dinner with everyone. This chocolate brownie dessert was the perfect ending to a great day!
