visit of the Royal Yacht Britannia and hiking Arthurs seat

Trip to The Royal Yacht Britannia

The Britannia took the royal family around the world in 1954-1997. It has been to many places of the world.
 

The ship is also one of the queen's working place. It's designed very well and you won't feel like you are on a ship. A lot of celebrities were invited on board, including president Clinton and Gandhi. 



However, the 200 crew members live in poor conditions which is a great contrast comparing to the royal family.

Nowadays, it is a museum and it exhibits some wonderful treasures.



The Britannia was an amazing ship and we had a good time. 


After that, we went hiking in Arthurs seat. Although we didn't hike to the top, we were still able to see beautiful sceneries of Edinburg.  It's very different from Hong Kong as there are no sky scrapers at all. That's why the castle and houses can be seen clearly.

We took photos with the local people and the kid is very cute. We are in the castle and the design is different from the buildings in Hong Kong.Although it was cold today, we felt comfortable and we all enjoyed it. When we stood there, we could see how different the buildings are.  The feeling is so different from Hong Kong.

Today we visited the Edinburgh Zoo. Although there are quite a lot of different animals there, I felt nothing special. Through the trip to the zoo, I understand that many animals are facing some serious problems. There is something i want to share. Today, I need to change my host family. In the morning, i almost cry because of Dibya'family. Dibya's mother who cannot speak English fluently but she always tries to communicate with me. She said I can go to her house when I come back to Scotland in the future and she will always be there. I felt so warm and I think I am very lucky to be hosted at Dibya's home. After that, she took photos with me. I really wanted to take photos with all the family members but it is a pity we cannot make it because we would be late for school. When I went outside, Dibya'mother gave me a hug. I felt so impressed and i hope time can stop at that moment.
