BOARD GAMES EVENING





In Edinburgh you may have other entertainment things a part to go to the pub and drink pints. A board games evening is a good way to have fun and to be sober.

IN THE RESTAURANT



We went to the restaurant where I work to have dinner. It was funny see Ferran making efforts to speak in English with Alex and Emma making efforts to speak in Spanish with Silvayn, jejeje. Mummy showed as well all her English knowledge thanks to all the years in courses in Barcelona. jejejej (I'm jokking). Finally, we asked for some whiskies. I adviced my brothers that the measure is really small in Scotland (25ml) but they didn't believme until the whisky arrived.

VISITING THE CITY





It wasn't bad. In one day we had time to go to the Edinburgh's Castle, wonder around the Royal Mile until the Scottish Parliament, have some haggis, neeps and tattis, fight in Calton Hill to remember the old times, go to Princess Street to buy some souvenirs and visit Dean Village and the Royal Botanic Garden after one hour walking under the rain (ja queda poc!!!!!). A full day of Edinburgh emotions!!!

PUB QUIZ

Yesterday we went for the first time at one Pub Quiz, a really typical competition in most of the Edinburgh's pubs. The problem was that the questions were for expert people like which is the name of the hotel in the film The Shining, played by Jack Nicholson?? If anyone knows the answer has a free pint in Edinburgh. Obviously, we were the worst team ever, despite of our scottish partners.

BUT THE RAIN CAME



For everyone is known that the spring comes with plenty of rain. So, yesterday we had a good rain during the Beltane Fire Festival. The result of all of that was that we went back to the flat completely wet, we were pouring with water.

BELTANE FIRE FESTIVAL






Yesterday we went to the Beltane Fire Festival in Calton Hill to celebrate the begining of the spring. The ceremony takes 5 hours and it shows the fight between spring and winter. We went with some couchsurfers and we had a good time together. For those who visited us the start is in the Shame of Edinburgh (la vergonya d'Edinburgh).
