About a month ago I spent the weekend in Edinburgh with my Senior Section unit as part of our Commonwealth Award badge. I had never been to Edinburgh, only driven round it, so it was great to become a proper tourist for the day! And I also needed a break away from school, home and life in general so it was a handy two-day escape.
We were set a challenge to find answers to questions about the different historic monuments and landmarks in Edinburgh and take a selfie with each one to prove we actually went to see it rather than googling the information!

When walking around all day, it wasn't a surprise that we got hungry pretty quickly, there was a Starbucks just down the road but Paige spotted the Fudge Kitchen and I was dragged in there. After trying literally all of the samples (served to us by the very attractive guy working there...what more could you want? A hot guy giving out free food!) I choose the After Eight Fudge which I split with Paige and she chose the Salted Caramel Fudge.
We also bumped into Waterloo Road's old head teacher Michael Byrne played by Alec Newman outside the Cathedral. He happily helped us out with our photo challenge even though Paige did walk up to him and asked "Is this you?" whilst holding my iPhone in his face.
And of course a trip wouldn't be complete without a hint of shopping! I bought this kimono from the Apricot collection in New Look and I also found a pair of heels I loved but they didn't have my size in black so I'll have to order them online.
Here are a bunch of the selfies I was talking about earlier!
See you tomorrow for Edinburgh Day 2: Pandas, Parades & Promises!
