Hey, Harry Potter fans


Are any of you guys Harry Potter fans. Then you really want to make sure that you get a chance to check out some of these stops. So randomly during this trip we stopped at some of Harry Potter hot spots. I enjoyed all of the movies. Krista read the books, saw the movies and is a HUGE fan.


This school was an inspiration for the Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was actually a quick stop during our haunted tour of Edinburgh, as we walked through the cemetery.


The Balmoral hotel is where the last book was created. Very nice hotel inside. Before you go in there is a Bellhop that gets the door for you. I think that is so cool. Gives it more of a real rich feeling.  You can have a tea day which includes different flavored teas and 3 tier tray of lovely desserts.  Yummy!


The rail bridge you see in this picture was used as the Hogwarts express train. We didn't get a chance to take the train ride. Sadly, it was all booked for the week that we were there. If you want this to be part of your adventure. Make sure to book early. 


The Elephant bar is where J.K Rowling wrote the first book in the series. I can see why. The uniqueness of the place can really help the creative mind.  Of course we had to eat there. If you stop to eat here you will not be disappointed. The food was great and he serving sizes are huge. The inside was really neat. The chairs were carved to look like elephants. Which I found to be really creative. the seats where not that bad to sit in either. If you can avoid eating during what the locals call  'American dinner time' . You could expect to wait a long time for a table.

Vatican City then headed home

As I finish up sharing my trip to Europe, I have started making plans to go to Australia.  Its hard to believe that it has been a year already since my last adventure. I must say a great way of finish up this amazing trip is going to the Vatican . My Aunt and I had purchased our tickets for the museum a head of time to avoid the lines. Highly recommend do this. As we waited for out time to enter the museum, we decided to walk around a bit. We decided to go in to Vatican City. We noticed that there were large crowds forming. Turns out that on Wednesdays that Pope Francis has a papal audience and gives mass . . We decided that you cant come to Vatican City and not see the Pope if he is having mass. There was a few hours before it stat, so we went to the museum. The last supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci The tombs were just fantastic to see, such great detail, telling a story. I snuck of picture of the Sistine Cha...
