Walking Tour of Edinburgh With Tour Guide Kenzie

After class and lunch today a group of us took the bus into Edinburgh and went on a free walking tour of the city. Our tour guide was a nice young guy from Inverness... Novia Scotia Canada. He told some really great stories as we walked around the city. We visited the cemetary and saw a funny cage they had over a grave to prevent zombies and grave robbers. Also, for those who care, this is the cemetary where J.K. Rowling got the names for many of the characters in Harry Potter including Hermione Granger and Tom Riddle.

We also saw the Writer's Museum.

And this cool looking crest.

After the walking tour another girl and I went to eat at the Conan Doyle pub and cafe, named after the author of Sherlock Holmes. It had some great memorabelia on the walls and the table we sat at had red leather wingback chairs in front of a fireplace. After we got our pictutes taken in front of the Sherlock Holmes statue a few blocks down.

This is what I ordered for supper: Sausage and Mash. It was delicious.

After getting lost in the London Street Gardens we made our way back on the bus and she helped me book a six day tour of Ireland. I had to get my folks to put more money on my card before it would work though. Now it's off to bed.
