Welcome to what may be my final blog post. Today was unfortunately our final official day of this trip. Today we decided to make our way through the thick, soupy fog to some magic shops. Unfortunately the nearest good magic shop is in Glasgow. We decided to trek to where the concierge said anyways, and were rewarded with one cheesy shops with a couple of card tricks and several offensive novelty items and another that contained nothing related to magic. So much for that. It was a nice walk, though. Anyways, we decided to go to the Dynamic Earth Science Park where we went back to the beginning of time ("the difference between the time machine and a lift is that the time machine tells you what year you're in and not the floor you're at"). After this experience, I managed to convince Grandma to take me close to a monument similar to the one that I climbed yesterday (except this one wasn't as tall). They advertised it as 170 steps but I only got to go up 150 when I discovered that there was a barricade in my way. Once again, so much for that. It was still cool up there, especially with the fog rolling in around the several surrounding monuments. On the same hill as this tower they had "The Embarassment". The Embarrasment is a replica of the Parthenon in Greece that never got finished (the city ran out of money and got lazy, so they just gave up and left it half-finished). It wasn't very acessible (apart from the fact that it was on a huge hill, there was a large ledge just to get on the stairs and I nearly killed myself trying to get up for a picture that didn't turn out) but it was neat nonetheless. Afterward, we journeyed over to the Royal Yacht Britannica. It was closed, but fortunately the security people were very friendly and let us on for 5 minutes, free of charge (it would normally have been around $60 for us all). If the friendly security emloyees are reading this, thank-you for your kindness. After this, we were pooped, so we returned to the hotel. Today may have sounded rather disappointing, but overall it was actually quite exciting. I got to see several new sights, and enjoyed it quite a bit.
