On day 7 the first exploration day started! We woke up and went to Edingburgh castle (and took a selfie with my very-clearly-a-tourist selfie stick). We went on a tour, saw the Royal Crown Jewels, and went to several small museums within the castle.
Then we went to The Elephant House Cafe where JK Rowling wrote several of the first Harry Potter books. It is known as the "birthplace" of Harry Potter. We got lunch (salad, baked potato and peppermint tea) and then walked around towards the Museum of Scotland. It was three floors of world culture. I mainly liked the animal stuff which was luckily on all three floors.
After that we wandered around some more and eventually made it back to the hotel. Dinner is at 6:30 and we may go out later or go on a ghost tour or both!
Shoutout to my rain boots for not killing my feet all day. :)
