Edinburgh Castle

We went to Edinburgh castle a couple of days ago it was really fun!!! it was kinda gross though because there was all these Prisoners of war stuff. It is a pretty big Castle though. It's first building was a chapel I think. It is called St Margaret's Chapel. There are all these crown jewels from the Scottish kings and queens. There is a crown with pearls and gold, a swordy thing, and assorted neclaces ring ect. ect. It was really fun to go underground and see all the prison cells. There was even this well that is more than 40 meters deep and if you fell in you would probably drown. We actually went to alot of castles like that Carrikfergus castle had a big well that has a glass window on the top of it and you can stand on it.
A N Y W A Y . . . .
Edinburgh castle has all these really cool cannons and guns because the army people work there. At one O' clock the guns go off and it is loud. Sorry that I dont have any photos I will try to post them as soon as I can.

Ireland Video

(Igneous includes Volcanic rock which is why we built this city on Rock and roll)

The Giant's Causeway

We went to the Giant’s Causeway on May the 6th in freezing cold weather, that’s why in the photo I’m not standing at the top of the pillars because it was so windy and I would definitely fall off! We also saw these cool rock formations: there was the Giants boot, the wishing chair, the organ pipes. They are really cool because they are all natural as well. The organ pipes are awesome because they are like the pillars on the causeway but they are huge!! They shoot out of the ground and go straight up. There is this cool place called the amphitheatre; it is kind of like the organ pipes except that it goes in a big horseshoe shape. The amphitheatre used to be open to the public but now you can’t because there was a landslide and the fence broke. (WAAAA!) There was a camel and lots of other stuff but I couldn’t see them. I don’t like how the National Trust shut away all of the good things grrrrrrrrr!

London & Brighton

On Saturday We went to Brighton We went to the Brighton Pier and we went on some rides at an Amusement park. We made all of the little rides that had slots where you put the money in work! I went on this really cool ride with mum. It goes really fast and it goes up and down and makes you want to throw up!
We also took the train to London. And we went and saw heaps of stuff! we saw... Buckingham palace, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and we also saw the New Zealand War memorial! it was fun but we were only there for a day. We saw Guards and they did this little marching thingie with their legs and they put their legs up really high it must of hurt. We saw Tower bridge at night so it was full of lights. The morning after we had to leave to go to Ireland so we couldn't see every thing.
