Last day of our adventure and of course the coolest of all.

In the morning we had our last lesson with Lee. We talked about business and we did some job interviews. Finally we did some debates. The topics were chosen by us, it was a good opportunity to talk to a native speaker. I think I will miss Lee a lot because he was not only a very well-prepared teacher but also because he was like a friend for us.

Then we had our lunch and sadly I ate my last tuna sandwich (the best I've ever tasted!).

In the afternoon we went to Holyrood palace, the official residence of the Queen in Scotland. I really liked the visit and the place was both fascinating and magnificent.

At 3 o'clock we went to the Scottish Parliament, a modern building on the Royal Mile.

When we got home Sharron, our host mother prepared us a delicious fish and chips and then she gave us strawberries and cream... Yummy! Then we talked straight for two hours and I'm not kidding guys, two hours! We talked about politics, different cultures, Italians and so on. What a wonderful last day!

My adventure in Scotland has been amazing but unfortunately it's time to go back to Italy... Bye Bye guys

Here I am, the last day has already arrived. What a pity. I have fallen in love with this city and with my new family. This evening, when we got home, we ate with Sharron and we  talked for about two hours! I had so much fun, everything was incredible and I spoke English a lot , which is fantastic! I don't want to leave, everything here is great and fascinating. I hope to keep in contact with my host family and to return to Edinburgh as soon as possible !!

New day, new stories guys!

Today Lee showed us how to write a C.V, it was quite boring but very important for my future! After school we took the bus and we went to Rosslyn Chapel which is an hour away from the city centre. I expected it to be much bigger. However, it was a very charming place and its story is amazing. It is very famous because the film 'The Da Vinci's Code' was shot there.

Then we went back to Princes street to do some shopping. I bought some shortbread, which is a typical biscuit, for my family. I'm really looking forward to tasting it!

Finally we walked to 'The three sisters', a really nice pub where we ate all together. I ordered fish and chips and it was quite good I have to say even though there was too much oil. Later it was time to go home, take a shower and go to bed.

Goodnight my friends and keep up for the last day of our adventure.

so, my school trip is going to end very soon..I'm so sad! Anyway today I was amazed by the beautiful Rosslyn Chapel! It is small, but at the same time one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's quite far away from the city center, but it was worth it. Then we took the bus to come back home and when we arrived in Princes street we did some shopping especially for our families. At six o'clock we ate at a pub and I ate fish and chips, quite good but in my opinion there was too much oil.

Rain, rain and again rain guys! Today the weather was horrible! But luckily we did some exciting things and we visited some interesting attractions.

Firstly we talked about sales and marketing at school, quite boring I have to say but it was in our program and we had to do this.

Then we went to Victoria street and The Elephant House, but I am not really into Harry Potter and so I didn't find it really thrilling. We also visited The National Museum of Scotland and I loved it! There are many floors and many sections, each with a different subject. My favorite was certainly Art, Design and Fashion probably because I'm very keen on clothes and trends.

Before we started our ghost tour we ate a delicious classic hamburger in a cool pub.

The ghost tour was fantastic! It was creepy and a little bit scary, everyone was very frightened! We went to see Edinburgh vaults and our story teller narrated us a lot of strange episodes, so terrifying!

Tomorrow it will be a long day too so stay turned to follow my adventures here,

Today it has rained all day long. Insane. Anway, I had so much fun, maybe this was the day I had the most. We visited Greyfriars Kirkyard, I was so excited because I am a super fan of the Harry Potter Saga!! Then we went to the National Museum of Scotland and it was wonderful! Modern, but at the same time, very traditional. After that we decided to go to eat something and we found a very nice pub. And now, the most frightening thing I've done in this school trip: the ghost tour! I was so scared of the stories our tour guide told us. I screamed a few times, but I enjoyed it. At the end of the day I took the bus with my classmates and we saw the city by night. Lights and music everywhere, there were lots and lots of young people; everything was just great.

Hi guys! Today it is officially the first day of spring and as we woke up it was snowing! Unbelievable! However, the weather was quite good today, I have to say, even though it was literally freezing!

At school we talked about our presentations and how to present a topic correctly. It was interesting to see how intonation makes the difference.

In the afternoon we went to the Scottish National Gallery and I loved it! I'm really interested in art and this place is kind of peaceful and relaxing, I liked its atmosphere!

Miss. Greenhorn cooked us a delicious dinner! We ate mashed potatoes, meat and a sort of bread. Today also her granddaughter was here and it was a pleasure to meet her! We played cards with her and we drew, she is simply cute and we had a lot of fun together!

Such a lovely day guys, keep up

Ok, so today is the first day of spring and guess what...here it's SNOWING! It's incredible!! This morning we got on the bus with some of our classmates and we had a lot of fun. When we arrived at school I went to my classroom and the lessons had already begun. In the afternoon we went to the Scottish National Gallery and our tour guide was just so good! She explained everything in a very clear way: she was not boring and at the same time she made some jokes. I love visiting museums. Then we went to Calton Hill and we saw the fantastic views from the hill. We took lots of photos and we admired the beautiful buildings on that hill. At the end of the day, when Giorgia and I got home, we found out that Sharron and Andy's granddaughter, Eva, was at home. While we were eating she was so shy, she didn't say a word, but then when we went upstairs to our bedroom she followed us and she came in. She played cards with us, we drew and she decided to do my makeup. Although it was not easy for us to understand everything she said, we had a lot of fun. Just an incredible night!

Our second day was quite... busy! This morning we were a little bit late and so we ran to the bus stop to catch our bus just in time. Edinburgh transports are very efficient and it was quite easy for us to move around the city!

Today I met Lee Maffot, who is my English teacher. He is a musician, an artist, a security guard and of course a teacher! He is funny, I like him a lot. We ate a sandwich all together for lunch and then straight to the Old Town. Edinburgh  is fascinating, I had never thought it would be such a beautiful city! So we walked along the Royal Mile and then we visited Edinburgh Castle, which was my favorite attraction for today.

When we came back home our host family was waiting for us to have our dinner. Such a spicy dinner!

Tomorrow we will be visiting the National Scottish Gallery so

Stay turned guys!!

Here I go! This was my very first day in this beautiful city. Everything I saw today was totally awesome. The weather was unpredictable: five minutes of sunshine and then five minutes of rain. I really enjoyed my first day at school, my classmates are nice and the teacher, Erik, is a little bit funny. In the afternoon we went to St. Giles' cathedral. It's incredible, maybe one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. After that we went to Edinburgh Castle and we visited it.

# data[].attributes.body
We made it! We arrived at Malpensa airport at 8.30 and our plane took off at 12.35 and we finally  arrived in Edinburgh at 2.10 pm. Our taxi drove us to the house of our host family and when we rang the doorbell a kind woman let us in. The house is quite small, since it is only for her and her husband, but it is really nice and cosy. I love it!

We ate really early (at 6.30 pm) which was quite strange for us, but the food was good!

Our first impressions are definitely positive and we hope our week here in Edinburgh will be exciting!

For more information stay turned!

We have finally arrived! I was, and I am, so excited about this trip with my class. Today we got on a plane and flew to Edinburgh (I was sitting near Arianna, she was SO NERVOUS because it was her first time on a plane). Then a taxi took Giorgia and me home and we met  our fantastic family: Sharron and Andy. They are very nice people. They showed us the bus stop and we also had a walk in a park. They eat very early in the evening, I would say in the afternoon: at 6.30 pm. we had already finished dinner. During the meal we talked to our host mum while Andy was eating in the sitting room because he was working. They eat a lot of onion, but you know, if you want to travel all around the world, you have to eat and to do the same things that they usually do in their daily routine.

My adventure around Edinburgh is just getting started and I’m really excited! I’m looking forward to meeting my host family, to getting lost walking in the fascinating Georgian streets and to coming into contact with a culture completely different from mine. Although I had many fears, my  curiosity keeps me enthusiastic.

If you want to keep up with all the news from this wonderful Scottish city, continue to read my posts on Padlet.

I'm really looking forward to visiting Edinburgh! People told me that this city is breathtaking and must be seen once in your life. I'm so excited to meet new people, such as my host family. Travelling and discovering things are one of the things I like the most and when I do that with my friends it is even better.
