Edingburgh

Thursday May 21st
Went to Edinburgh today and explored pretty much all of the castle and went on the Royal mile. We tried going to the Holyrood palace but unfortunately that was closed for visitors due to a special event. So we went to the elephant house which was where J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter on the backs of napkins and we read napkins and such. Also visited the Scottish parliament building which was made to look like leaves from the aerial view and had some very interesting architecture and we went into the debating chamber to watch the members of parliament debate some random bill.
Really wanted to go on the ghost trail and the walking tour but did not get the time. Thus, I'm going to have to drop by in Scotland again the next time that I'm in Europe.
Our hostel was amazing, it was one of the MacBackPackers hostel with a great view because it was only steps away from the hostel.
