The next day I wasn't feeling too well so I stayed in to sleep while my friends hiked to the top of a nearby hill. I'm so glad I did because I was able to take myself out The Elephant House for breakfast and read (have I mentioned I'm a complete bookworm??) For those who don't know, this place is where J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter and this gave the spot a special place in my heart. Harry Potter was the first book I learned how to read. As a side note, my eldest brother was also a bookworm and I admired him so much I just wanted to learn how to read like he did so I begged my mom to teach me to read and by 1st grade I conquered Harry Potter. Albeit my mom still had to help me with names like McGonagall and Voldemort but the story stuck with me and since then I've loved every part of the Wizarding World. To see how many share this love with me was truly incredible, as you can see below in the slideshow the bathroom walls are lined with quotes and admirations for the book series. It was a perfect start to the day! And from that moment on I completely head-over-heels fell in love with the town of Edinburgh. (Later on, we would explore more Harry Potter scenes/inspirations like in the picture below we saw Tom Riddle's Gravestone!!)
There's so much to see and do in Edinburgh that I wish we had more than a day to explore the city but alas as my mother always tells me "if you do everything right now, what do you have to look forward to?" so I have exploring this favorite city of mine more in-depth awaiting me in the future.
