leeds once more

On the tenth me and nanny went to Leeds to go to a museum. It only cost us 30p which was brilliant.
    As we came out of the station we saw someone giving away  Tropicana       who was really nice.
When we got to the museum we went up to the first floor. The first floor didn't have much on but there was a special clock called the Leeds clock.



mine is much better 
 On the second floor there was loads of things to do with the wars, there was a old desk <¬ and a thing that showed were the main bombing points were.

The third floor was much more fun as it has a mummy ¬> and  loads of Egyptian hieroglyphics and stuff 
there was a head statue of Hera Greek goddess and queen of heaven also married to Zeus god of the sky.

Then we went down to the ground  floor  and saw a huge cabinet that used to have several odd things in, including a hand, a coin, cows leather with the fur still on it. there were more things but I'll not list them.

Then we went down to the basement  and went in to a room with stuffed animals like, leopards, bears and monkeys and things but the tigers were most impressive this one here was a rug once then they moulded it back into shape an stuffed it. 🐅

Edinburgh🏢

On Tuesday we went to Edinburgh with the usual people. This time we went by train and it was a three hour train ride. After three  long hours we finally got to Edinburgh. From the station we went to Edinburgh castle the views were fab. The castle was ok but we couldn't see the crown jewels because the queue was so long, there are also some things to do with the war and a prison camp.


 

Edinburgh Castle is a historic land mark I'm not sure when it was built but there has been a royal castle on the site since at least the 12th century.

After that we went to the Museum of Edinburgh and on the way there we saw a street performer  called the mighty Gareth and we saw him swallow  a sword well I didn't because I'm screemish. There wasn't much to see in the museum of Edinburgh but in the National Museum of Scotland there were lots to see we saw lots of   dead animals (which spoiled it a bit for me poor rhino) films and games and there were so many floors   five but that's still that's a lot of floors
