King's college in the distance, Cambridge University.
Cambridge.
Cambridge University.
On Saturday (19th Feb) we went to Cambridge.
Visual evidence that I was there...
This is the great hall, from the dining scenes in Harry Potter! However, they only filmed the scenes from the Philosophers stone and the sorting hat scene here. In all the other movies, they filmed at a different location.
These are the steps were Dumbledore welcomed the newcomers to Hogwarts in the first movie.

This is Christ Church. We mainly wanted to see this place because scenes from Harry Potter were filmed here!
We ate some delicious breakfast when we arrived.
We went to Oxford for the day on Friday 18th Feb.

At the top of Hyde Park.
Caramel iced toffee-fudge filled doughnut... enough to make you sick! But so delicious...
The camden markets. Really nice place to go on a Saturday. But so busy!

A man playing bagpipes on the Royal Mile.
This photo was taken just across the road from our Hostel, so we had a good view of the castle!
Outside the Edinburgh castle, with lovely construction on the left!

This is the supermarket. It's pretty big and sells not only groceries, but also clothing, electricals, kitchen utensils, stationary, linen, etc. So very handy!
This is the local shopping centre. It's pretty big, with lots of clothing stores, but no supermarket! Odd. So we have to walk a bit further into town to get to get groceries. The Galleria is a 5 minute walk from our campus.
This is my door. I got locked out of my room (it locked behind me and I didnt have my key). The doors arent supposed to lock without a key, but somehow, mine did! So security had to come and open it for me.
