    Only disappointment was that the animals went inside due to weather which can't be controlled. Still a very enjoyable day.

    Fantastic experience at the King's Gallery yesterday. From the entry staff to the cafe workers and all the art in between, this was a superb visit. The exhibition itself was incredible and the sense of time you get from viewing drawings from 600 years ago is outstanding. I was certainly inspired to try and improve my beginner level drawing.

    Went to the Edinburgh Dungeon and honestly had a really good time. It was fun, exciting, and kept us entertained the whole way through. The stories were interesting and mixed with humour, so it wasn’t just scary but actually really enjoyable. The best part was definitely the actors and actresses, they were so into their characters and made the experience feel super interactive. They joked with the audience, stayed in character the whole time, and really brought the scenes to life. Overall, it was a great experience and something different to do in Edinburgh. I’d totally recommend it if you’re looking for something fun, a bit spooky, and not too serious.
