We arrived in this chilly capital of Scotland to blue skies and a temperature that reminded us of what we were missing back home. All of us were kinda tired after not sleeping on the bus, which resulted in us not going out of our hostel until the late afternoon. With the silhouette of Edinburgh Castle on the darkening skyline, we walked around the Winter Wonderland Festival that was going on for the entire month of December. It was so nice! and then we went on a ghost tour in the vaults beneath the city. It was scary, I am not going to lie. First, we went to a church which was the site of a number of accusations against supposed witches. No big deal. Until, we toured a room full of torture devices (ball breakers, cat o' nine tails, etc. The usual). And finally, we went to the vaults. I gripped Jesse's hand the whole time we were down there, except when we were made to stand with girls on one side and guys on the other in a particularly spooky crypt. Thankfully, Jamie's friend, Vanessa, kindly offered her hand for me to grip during that freaky-deaky time. Sleep did not come easily that night.--Colleen
Oh and sorry that the pictures are all of me. In my defence, Jesse was hogging the camera.
