I was in Durham most of the time. It is a cute little city in the north of england. It also has a nice university and a cathedral.

It was a really nice place.  I would recommend it. 

Edinburgh

I've left England for Edinburgh!  Before I left I stopped at the Bowes Museum in Bernard Castle.  It was fantastic!  I got to see the countryside (a train and 1 hour by bus . . . through hamlets and past farms!). It also is an old style estate. Cool right!

Bowes museum . . . look how happy I am.

Dragon to hug!

That's right!

Then I took the train here to Edinburgh.  So far I've wandered the downtown, got rained on, and saw the castle.

The Castle!

Monument in the castle . . .

Its quite a nice castle.  Big with a good view.  I like my castles a bit more falling aparty though . . .
