Hai guys! It's me Katie here yet again!
So I thought I should briefly or just tell you guys about what we have been up to. So we spent the day with Mandy, Simon, Luke and Lauchlin which was incredable. The following day me and mum ended up going out exploring and ended up outside Buckingham Palace (where we believe the queen was actually inside) we also went to Harry Potter world where I got the nic name "Girl with the yellow sun glasses" by the photographer who smiled and waved at me, which was kind of calming knowing that I stood out in such a huge crowd! At one point we found the statue of Sherlock and then another yes I do mean yet another Tardis which we have found 3 (one in Glasgow I didnt end up getting a picture with - but that's okay because been so packed with so much other stuff its been nearly jam packed) me and mum ended up finding a store for Beetles, Hard Rock Cafe and Sherlock . We went to Lords and insted went to the pub and that night we caught up with mum's old friend Puala as our night out. The third day was mum's birthday! Which was the day of the Bertie Box JellyBeans! We met up with a few of the band members and went to the motel which we ended up finding and LOVED the stay there! B+B Edinburgh was AMAZING, we got there and the guy behind the counter opened the door for us and held it open while we bought our stuff in and then when we got to the hotel room we struggled to connect to the wifi (which we solved in the end) and had baths etc, I got to see my FAVOURITE movie "What A Girl Wants" it really did make my day. Anyways we skyped Dad, Tim and Sarah and decided to wait to find out plans which mum ended up going to have a sleep seen as we had a late night ahead of us, so I said that I would stay awake and wait for the message which 5min later I ended up going to sleep aswell and woke up to mum saying about how I was supposed to of stayed awake and so I replied about how there was no message so it didnt really matter and I was hearing out for it. So the night rolled 'round and we ended up just going into the line where we were shoulder to shoulder to other people as we waited to attend The Duke Of Edinburgh Military Tattoo which was stunning - Kind of, we sat in the wrong seats to start with and so had to climb up to the row behind us and the guy's hat was in the way a lot of my (now failed recording) and same with the girl's messy hair and there was 2 guys behind us just chatting away which annoyed me the most because I wanted to hear about the queen which I didnt end up hearing much of the speech at all! So afterwards me and mum decided to go and get Subway for tea seen as we didnt get tea before the show and then the struggle of getting a taxi began because they were so busy with everyone else and so eventually we found a spot where taxi's were coming to collect people which at one point we were the first in que to get one which helped a lot and then arriving we got in and pretty much were too tired to continue with anything else seen as it was 2 something in the morning and so we curled into bed and called it a night. The following day we had a full Scottish breakfast and a hot drink and then that day caught the train to Glasgow where we found out that it was 12 pound 50 pence for Ibis to do our laundry per load and that our cups were so expensive they are plastic desposable party cups there was also no coffee and no shampoo etc in the shower and no jug at all. Then the 30th we ended up trying to catch the bus which turns out you needed a ticket lol mum put money through this slot in the bus and it actually went right through on to the floor which the bus driver then said about how he doesnt take cash and we couldnt find the money - which he clearly was mad but let us jump onto the bus anyways *phew* and we decided to jump off outside of a bar which had the same name as when we went and had breakfast with Mandy. Mum had a huge scottish breakfast however swapped black pudding for haggus again which they did and I had American Pancakes with baccon - which Im not a fan of at all after trying it. We went and got the car and then started searching for 34 Appin Road, which was the address on my Great Grandad Dunns birth certificate. Followed by going to a library and doing some research on family tree stuff which I ended up staying out of the area and looking after the bags seen as it was just easier to do so. For tea we decided to do mexican - however my mexican garlic bread wasnt all that great and mum ordered a canalonii kind of thing with chips thinking that I would need something more seen as my meal was only a starter however I only ended up having 3/6 of the slices and mum ended up having the rest seen as I was too full to continue on. This morning I was freaking out because I had a shower and put my foot on the shelf to dry my leg however the shelf went on a tilt and I was freaking out thinking the worst however we went and talked to the people behind the counter and she said not to worry about it and so we decided to go back to the same place that we had breakfast at and we ordered poached eggs on muffins with ham and a kind of sauce - the green leafs were better with the sauce. After we were going to head back which yet again I failed at directions and we end up outside a boat museam and it was very interesting and spent a good 2 hours there and then decided to go to Dr. Livingstones museam and we found gravestones which were of our family which was awesome however closed yesterday which sucked and so we were going to go to the Library to find more information out about the family tree stuff - which in the end again due to my horrible navigation we decided to just give up and go get pizza for lunch. We then decided to go and explore the science museam which was amazing, so exhausted now and mum has already gone to sleep before 7pm lol so goodnight guys!
I will try to keep this blog page up to date however in advents that we end up late it will be yet another long post lol <3
