Dear diary,
We are almost at the end of this trip, time has passed quickly! And to be honest I'm a little bit sad because I would like to stay here and not to go back home ahah. So today we visited the wonderful Holyrood Palace, the queen's residence, I really liked it, it is huge and it has lots of history! What I liked the most, though, was going shopping! ! I bought some Scottish tea and lots of clothes. Princes Street is my world. There are lots of amazing shops like Primark, Starbucks..etc. .
I don't want to go back, leave me here!
XOXO

Dear diary,
Today we visited Rosslyn Chapel, and to be honest it was better than I expected, I saw the crypt and the baptismal font and I found its history very interesting thanks to its famous legend about the Holy Grail! In my opinion this Chapel is more beautiful inside than outside! Even though the journey to get there took us one hour I am very glad I saw it! Now I have to go, my bed calls me ahahah.
XOXO

Dear diary,
Today it was the most tiring day I've ever had! It has been raining all day, it's not possible, I'm still wet because of the rain and I also broke my umbrella! The ghost tour was the thing I liked the most today, because the guide was nice and I was curious to visit the vaults of Edimburgh and learn something new about witches and tortures!
I hope tomorrow will be a sunny day, but I don't think it will.
XOXO

Dear diary,
We visited the Scottish National Gallery today, we saw lots of impressive and exciting paintings! Van Gogh's paintings were the most distinctive because of the colors and techniques that he used, then we went to Calton Hill we walked a lot to get there but it was worth it, the view was spectacular and I took lots of photos. Now I am going to bed because I'm really tired.
XOXO

Dear diary,
It's only a few hours since we landed and it feels very strange to listen to Italian again! I'm used to English with a Scottish accent now. The flight was good and I even had lunch on the plane! It wasn't that bad actually. Now I'm thinking about all the tests that we have got to do this week... I want to die!
XOXO Greta

Dear diary,
Today it's the last day here in Edinburgh. We went to the Palace of the Queen and to the Scottish Parliament. The former didn't impress me that much. The rooms were too dark and the style was too royal for me. But I really liked the abbey! Later we visited the Scottish Parliament. Even though its architecture is modern, it fits very well in the city! This evening tastes bittersweet; on the one hand I miss Italy and especially the food, on the other hand I would like to stay here for another week. But now I have to go to bed, because tomorrow I have to wake up very early.
XOXO

Dear diary,
Today we have Rosslyn Chapel. I really enjoyed it. It was annoying that we couldn't take photos inside the chapel, because the architecture was wonderful! Then we had some free time on Princes Street until six o'clock. Later we went to the pub called "The three sisters" to have dinner. It was horrible! I should have eaten fish and chips, but I actually ate oil with cold chips... it's better to forget it! Tomorrow we are going to visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament, I hope  they are cool.
XOXO

Dear diary,
Today it was a good day, but not wonderful. It rained all day long and so I didn't enjoy the graveyard and the places connected to J. K. Rowling very much. Fortunately we went to the National Museum of Scotland. It was very beautiful, full of art mixed with science. I felt as if I was in the movie "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" thanks to the planes and different scientific machines! Also the architecture was very cool. I hope that tomorrow the sun will be in the sky instead of the rain and the wind.
XOXO

Dear diary,
today we visited the Scottish National Gallery and Calton Hill. They were both pretty cool, but I  preferred the former. Some paintings were really beautiful! My favourite one was "Flower Still Life in a Sculpted Stone Vase" by Jan van Huysum. Our guide was amazing! She told us that she is also a painter, for this reason she talked with a lot of emotion about every work of art. This made the tour so interesting! Another thing that I loved was the view from Calton Hill, so beautiful! I hope that the ghost tour won't disappoint me tomorrow!
XOXO

Dear diary,
today we visited St Giles', which was the subject of my research, Edinburgh castle and the Royal Mile. They were pretty cool, in fact the only thing that wasn't so nice was the weather. A lot of wind that brings rain and then after a few minutes the sun. So tiring! The greatest thing of the day was the dinner that our host lady made for us: hamburgers and vegetables! I hope that tomorrow it will be a good day like today.
XOXO

Dear diary,
Today it was a tiring day, but everything was amazing! I discovered that Edimburgh is a windy city, too windy for my taste, the weather here is quite strange, so this is a thing that shocked me a lot! Our host lady  is a smart and kind woman, she cooked us hamburgers this evening and they were delicious, I already love her! So today everything was incredible, I hope tomorrow will be the same!

Dear diary,
Today nothing disappointed my expectations, the flight was a little bit tiring but the view from the window was impressive! Our host lady is very kind and we talk to her a lot, we ate pizza this evening and I was surprised because it was very good! All in all the food is not bad and this reassures me!
I'm ready for tomorrow, I hope to learn a lot about the sights here in Edimburgh!
XOXO

I'm so glad to go to Edimburgh, I'm curious to know what Scotland is like!  I want to learn a lot about their culture and traditions and I hope the weather and my host family will be good, so I'm looking forward to starting this trip.
XOXO

Dear diary,
this morning I was excited about a lot of things: taking a plane for the first time ever, meeting my host family, etc. Everything went really well actually! The journey was better than I expected and the lady that hosts Anna and me is so kind, we couldn't ask for more! Now we are going to bed, we want to recharge our batteries for tomorrow.
XOXO

Dear diary,
I'm very excited about going to Edinburgh and I'm looking forward to meeting my host family too! This evening, after eating a pizza, Anna, my sister and I are going to the cinema to watch the new Emma Watson's movie. Of course I'm going miss my family a little bit, but not too much. In fact, I think this is a great experience and I'm not gonna let homesickness ruin my fantastic trip!
XOXO
Greta
