Edinburgh

We spent Thursday in Edinburgh.

First we went to the cathedral of St. Giles.





































Then we went to the castle. Patrick Stewart was also at the castle. We didn't say anything to him because we saw another fan-girl gush at him and he was nice to her but looked like he wanted to be left alone.

















We also went on a ghost tour where we learned about witches, narrow squalid streets, and mad monks! Our ghostly tour guide pretended to smother me in a demonstration about men who killed people to donate as medical cadavers.

Conwy

On Wednesday we saw Conwy castle.












































And then we drove to Scotland!

Harlech

On Monday we saw Harlech castle.





























I don't feel too bad that I didn't get in any running on our holiday since I climbed up and down lots of tower stairs.

Carreg Cennin

On Easter Morning we went to Carreg Cennin castle. It's a good thing traffic was so light because we had to drive on some seriously narrow country roads.




Caerphilly Castle

We went to Caerphilly castle on Saturday. It was one of the largest castles we saw and the surrounding lake and motes were filled.
