today is the last day...
I don't want to go back to Italy! this week went too fast...
I think that anyone who reads these words can understand how sad I am, I fell in love with Edinburgh and I know that a piece of my heart is still in Edinburgh.
This week I have learnt a lot about Scottish people and Scotland too. I have seen a lot of places and I have had the oppurtunity to experience a new lifestyle. I would recommend this experience to anyone, because everybody should try to live a wonderful adventure like the one we had.

Today we went to school for the last time, I already miss our teachers.
In the afternoon we visited Holyrood Palace. It is such a beautiful place! I have never seen a palace like that. I was so impressed by its beauty. Then we went to the Scottish Parliament, a huge building and to end in beauty we had a lot of free time to do some shopping! I really enjoyed the day, but right now I'm quite sad, because this is the last day of this awesome trip and I don't want to go back to Italy.

Today is the day.... I think that anyone who reads this can detect a sense of sadness in my words... and it's true because right now I'm in Italy and I have seen my family again but a piece of my heart is still in Edinburgh. I think that this experience has enriched me because I have learnt a lot of new things and I have seen a lot of places. Besides, I have also got to know a lifestyle which is different from mine and other people and it was fun. I loved my experience there and I would recommend it to anyone.

I really enjoyed the day, but right now I'm quite sad, because this is the last day of this magic trip and I don't want to go back to Italy... but as every beautiful thing, this experience has to end...

Today we spent most of the day on the bus to get to Rosslyn Chapel but it was worth it, because I was fascinated by the view and I took a lot of pictures. When we came back we had a lot of free time and I bought some souvenirs for my family and for my friends. We had a special dinner all together but I didn't like my fish&chips. The worst part of the day came afterwards, when Alessia and I got lost on the way home... Fortunately our super-patient teachers rescued us and we came home safe and sound!

I'm glad to tell you that today I saw the Elephant House, a café, but not an ordinary one, it was the café where J.K. Rowling wrote the books of Harry Potter, one of my favourite sagas (as well as Twilight, of course)!

After that we saw Greyfriars Churchyard in the rain and then we arrived at the National Museum of Scotland, where I had the opportunity of seeing Dolly the sheep and know more about its story! The day ended in beauty with the Ghost tour, which was very scary, but interesting at the same time.

Today we went to school as usual and we spent most of the time on the bus to get to Rosslyn Chapel, but unfortunately I didn't like it so much... I preferred St Giles' Cathedral, probably because the architecture was more modern and I don't like ancient churches too much, anyway I took a lot of photographs of the wonderful view.
When we came back we had some free time to spend with our friends and to buy some souvenirs for ourselves and for our family. We had also a special dinner all together at a pub. I ate a hamburger with some chips and it was delicious, even though it was a little bit spicy.
but...it isn't everything, now comes the worst part of the day. Anna and I got lost on the way home! We were so scared, we cried a lot when fortunately our super-patient teachers came to our rescue and we came home safe and sound.

Today I had the opportunity of seeing a lot of wonderful paintings during the visit to the Scottish National Gallery and I was fascinated. Then we walked through Princess Street and I stared at Princes Street Gardens, what a beautiful view! Then we arrived at Calton Hill and I liked it, but I was also very tired of walking! However, the effort was paid by the memories of these beautiful views!

I have to say that today it was great. Alessia and I got to school on time and we really enjoyed the lessons, which weren't hard at all. In the afternoon we went to visit St Giles' Cathedral, the  Royal Mile and the Castle, which was my favourite attraction of the day. I really enjoyed the huge structure and the view from there. I would have really liked to live there, the atmosphere was magic!

Finally we got to Edinburgh! The flight was a little bit tiring and I was so excited that I felt like it last for a whole life! Right now I'm at home with Alessia and we have just had a look at our beautiful house. The family seems very kind and friendly, especially Melany, our host mother and we are sure that we will love our stay here!

We are having dinner in a few minutes and I can't wait to taste the typical dishes of Scotland!

Unfortunately today the weather was awful, it rained all day and we had to visit Greyfriars Churchyard quickly and we took refuge in the National Museum of Scotland. I was sad because the visit to the grave and the statue of Bobby, which was the subject of my presentation, was very short due to the rain, but visiting the museum I became again happy.
The guide told us the story of Edinburgh and I found that really interesting, I learnt things that I have never heard before.
The day ended in beauty with the Ghost tour, which was very scary,but interesting at the same time.

Today we went to school and then we visited the Scottish National Gallery where Rebecca and Giorgio presented their project about the most important and famous paintings. We also had a guided tour of the Gallery. After the Gallery we went for a walk to Calton hill.
When I arrived on top of the hill I was really fascinated by the view.

This was our second day in Edinburgh. We met our classmates outside the school at 9 a.m. The school is quite far from our house, we are 25 minutes from the city centre by bus, so we had to get up early to take the right bus.
I was a little bit nervous, because I was afraid of not understanding what people say, but it was not so.
The teacher spoke clearly and the exercises were fun and interesting. We had lunch at school and then we visited the old town, the Royal Mile, St. Giles' Cathedral and Edinburgh castle. The thing that I liked  the most was walking on the Royal Mile, I don't know why but I felt like a star who was walking in the past, at that moment I was able to feel the magic of Edinburgh!

ok, we are officially in Edinburgh!  The weather isn't so good, but I knew this.
We left at 12.30 in the morning and we arrived in Scotland at 3:30 p.m.
A taxi took us to our host family at about 4 p.m. This week we are going to live in a nice white house with two lovely boys and a handsome man married to a beautiful woman, called Melanie. She is our "Scottish mum". We ate our first Scottish meal and it was quite good, it was really better than I expected. it was rice with gravy, a typical meal in Scotland, in particular in Edinburgh.

I have been waiting for this trip to Edinburgh for so long that right now I can't wait anymore! I have never been to the UK and I'm sure that I'll really enjoy my experience there. I'll learn a lot and I think it will also be a lot of fun. I'm going to spend a wonderful week with my classmates, especially with my super "flatmate" Alessia! I'm looking forward to our departure and to the discovery of the capital of Scotland!

Anna and I  are coming to Edinbrugh on Sunday.
I'm so excited about this beautiful trip, I have never been to Scotland and I can't wait to see and learn all about this wonderfull place. This year we have learnt something about Scotland, but I'm sure that there will be so many things to discover. What I expect is to meet nice people who will be ready to show us the magic of Scotland and I'm looking forward to it.  I'm quite curious, so I looked at some pictures of the city and I'm sure that my expectations will not be disappointed!
See you soon Edinburgh, we are coming!
