text: When you're a tourist in Edinburgh, you've got to do touristy things. Too bad when I was there, it was dreary and rainy and cold, so I never went to Arthur's Seat. Instead, I did rainy weather activities, like go to museums, stay in bed until mid-afternoon, and have girl talk with one of my favourite people at her flat. And get introduced to \"The Only Way is Essex\", but that's another story.\n\nBut, I did go to the Real Mary King's Close because it wasn't too wet that day, and my friends and I always like a good scare. It took a while to find it - we went at night, and it was hard to find the sign for the close - but this tour was definitely worth it. Our tour guide was Mary King's daughter, Jonet Nimmo, and she was amazing.\n\nBeing underground in the \"Old Edinburgh\" was so amazing - I never knew there was basically a city under the city. I learned so much about the history of the city, and getting scared half to death while learning was the fun part. It was a bit claustrophobic at times, but seeing the perfectly preserved underground was just breathtaking - everybody has got to go on this tour, whether they're tourists or locals. Only bad part - you can't take photos during the tour - I would've loved to show my friends back home what I saw on the tour.
