They'll name a city after us and later say it's all our fault then they'll give us a talking to then they'll give us a talking to

we got up a little late the next day and then went around edinburgh got something to eat one of my friends felt a little ill so she went back to the hotel by herself and we went on to the castle but we didn't fancy paying the £16 entrance fee so we took some pictures and then left

we went into this optical illusions museum and we didn't mind paying £10.95 for the entrance fee haha, we had this show thing at first where they showed you the camera obscura in the roof which was interesting but the rest of the musuem was better they had a maze of mirrors which was cool and loads of like little tricky things it was fun

we also went in some shops on the high street and bought some souvenirs then we went back to the hotel to kill some time before the ghost tour one of us suggested we went to nandos so we did the service was very quick so we went for a drink in frankensteins before heading over to the meeting point for the ghost tour

the ghost tour only lasted an hour but it was pretty good the first bit was more like a history tour which was interesting but then we went into the vaults which was creepy they were so dark and the floor was so uneven and then the guide started to tell the stories about the ghosts in the vaults but overall it was quite good the guide was quite fun :)

back at the hotel we finished off the alcohol we bought the other day and then went to bed..the next day we just went home haha there wasn't much interesting about the journey home it was more boring than the journey there haha but i guess we were just fed up of each other by then

They made a statue of us and put it on a mountain top now tourists come and stare at us blow bubbles with their gum take photographs have fun have fun

on tuesday i went to edinburgh :) we got the train to edinburgh and it took like 3 hours and 45 minutes i felt sick at first but then we started discussing things like 'for a hundred pounds would you strip naked and run up and down the train?' so it distracted me

then we arrived in edinburgh and went straight to the hotel which was only like a 10 minute walk away from the train station, we had two rooms for the 6 of us the rooms were pretty simple but comfortable enough..we hung around there for a bit then had a wander around the high street to find somewhere to eat that night and we found this place called frankensteins which did food and cocktails

we went back to the hotel after buying some alcohol from tescos haha and got ready to go out again the restaurant was nice the food was good and the atmosphere was friendly but we went back to the hotel earlier than we thought we would because we were so tired from travelling

back at the hotel we drank some more, chatted and then went to bed

We've had this conversation so many times before and I know that you are tired of the same questions but maybe if I keep asking them the sounds from your mouth will form words that I want to hear

going to edinburgh on tuesday..getting the train at about 12, then we're going for a meal that evening..the next day we have a full day in edinburgh and at 9.30 we're going on a ghost tour ;) bit nervous about that haha my opinions on ghosts change depending on who i'm around but i'm easily scared..we're going out for cocktails afterwards then we go home on the thursday

yeah overall i'm looking forward to it, it should be gooood better than sitting in all day

then on the saturday we're going out in town because my brother and his wife are moving away and it's like their leaving do, they've said i can bring a friend so it should be all right :)

Some men crave women and some men crave gold some folks die too young and some die too old some just want to pass time with liquor and cards some work to the top and then some don't get far boy decide boy decide you're too old to fuck around and too young to die time to try life on for size

I can't tell you how to live your life but I know how to live mine

Everyone on my Facebook friends list is planning holidays to malia and magaluf this year and me and my friends are going to Edinburgh I suppose in some ways that is abroad haha

But seriously I wouldn't go to those places they really don't appeal to me at all... I'd rather go somewhere with a load of history about it, history is my life in a lot of ways, I mean granted Knossos isn't far from malia but would I want to stay in malia itself? No. No, I wouldn't...

In better news, great British Bake off and pizza for tea, can't complain
