Red for the win!

Unfortunately that was already the last (full) day on this amazing discovery trip to Edinburgh.
But we did awesome things again! First of all, after breakfast, we met up going in groups of ten people on a scavenger hunt around the city. We had to take pictures of multiple things like someone in a kilt, us all jumping in front of the Edinburgh castle and so on...
Later in the afternoon we even found a bench with the name René Lauener which was one of the harder things. But we just found it by accident and not really on purpose because we stopped the scavenger hunt around lunch time.


In the evening we all met up again at the hostel and went a bit up the hill to a huge hall. There was a private band with a piano, drums and two accordions. They played Scottish folk music and taught us how to dance to it. It was extremely funny but also exhausting since we danced until after ten!
They also revealed who was the winnter of today's scavenge hunt, and of course it was our team, Team Red with our leader: The Red King (Rory) :D

Hiking like a boss!

After waking up way earlier than I am used to we all had our breakfast downstairs. Around ten o'clock we met outside of the hostel to get our own private bus tour around this lovely city...
It was a very nice tour but we did not really understand the busdriver because the bus was so loud itself.
In the afternoon we all had different activities. Some of us including me went hiking up the hill next to Edinburgh. We were so lucky with the weather because last week it was quite cold and even snowy but this week is warm and nice. So we really could enjoy the nice view from up there on the city.
After dinner we had another tour. It was called the "Witchery tour" and it was two guys doing it. One was our guide and the other one always dressed different and surprised us. Usually those city tours are not particularly interesting but this one was really funny and entertaining too!
