Paco has
already left England and he has travelled to Edinburgh on the Scottish Pullman.
He has decided to visit Scotland first and he would like to travel to Wales
later on. However, he hasn’t left Edinburgh yet and he hopes to enjoy this city as
much as he enjoyed the cities he went to in England.
He’s been
visiting the most important places in Edinburgh with the help of a map he got
at the tourist information office. That day there were many people so Paco needed to
queue up a bit. Tourists were impatient to get their leaflets and maps but the
presence of so many visitors didn’t disturb the kindness of the tourist agents.
He’s also been reading a Harry Potter book because he’s been a big fan of the series since he read the first book. He thinks both the novels and the films have a great quality. Have you ever read any of the books? Paco would recommend them to you!
