Edinburgh Travel Blogs - Page 12

Many of you are upset with me because I'm not indulging you with a surplus of blogs and updates on my haps in Scotland. For that I am very sorry. Please know that I'm too busy working my bum off, and when I'm not doing that, I'm having too much fun doing other things and quite frankly couldn't be b…

Edinburgh Day 3: 10/26/07   My last day in Edinburgh was quite the busy day. I decided to wake up early and head up to Arthur’s Seat. It is high above Edinburgh atop a mountain; well not high compared to the mountains I live by but high enough to get a great view of the city and surrou…

Tom and I visited Edinburgh for our friend's birthday do, also her sister's home in the countryside, which was absolutely beautiful.

When one is in Scotland, the Edinburgh Castle is definitely worth the while to visit. It is the most famous of the Scottish castles and has a complex building history. The oldest part, St Margaret's Chapel, dates from the 12th century. The Great Hall was erected by James IV around 1510. The Half Mo…

Weekend Adventures

3 weeks today I will be on my way to Bangkok courtesy of Emirates.  This will be the first time I have flown into the new airport in Bangkok,  but I am sure the taxi drivers will be the same wanting to give me a 'good price' to my guesthouse.  Can't wait to escape the cold winter of …

Well, it's very early right now packed my bag very last minute. (that's me) I leave in 30 min. First I will go to my dad to give him my car for the week. And leave the keys of my house so my brother can feed my pets. And then we're off! I'm so excited! Keep you posted! kissis

My trip to Scotland

Welcome to my travel blog for my summer trip to Europe! I will be posting updates regularly, so be sure to check in often and see what I'm up to! Have a great summer!

Sadly, we left Glasgow and Steph's beautiful family and headed to Edidburgh to meet up with Andy (my friend from Buller), for a while. He had arranged a 'super special' deal to stay at The Sheraton for one night only....but it was a great night! We took advantage of rooftop pool, room service, and …

We weren't sure where we wanted to go next. We had a railpass that lasted four days from the 9th of August, and during these four days we hadn't booked accomodation to leave the trip more open for spontaneity. All we knew was that we at one point wanted to go to Edinburgh, so we chose to do that be…

i've finally managed to escape the oh-so-fascinating world of hedge fund finance, and am now decadently indulging my long-suppressed wanderlust with 15 months on the road and around the world... *note: apart from the odd review (generally of something not found in your standard guide book), this is really more just a map of my travels than a proper blog, but if you want more information on anywhere i`ve been or what i`ve been up to, send me a message and i`ll see if i can rustle something up.

Histoire We have a history, Edinburgh and I.  Nothing I am going to go into here, but it is the scene of one of the worst weekends of my life, so I am looking to reclaim it because it is a gorgeous city.  If you sit in the cafes on Prince's Street and look at the castle, you can see wher…

its monday morning and im just about to leave for my tour of scotland yesterday was great, got lots done and saw a lot of the city, despite not even getting into my room until about 4pm am looking forward to the tour, i cant believe how close the meeting point is to my hostel, so convenient, desp…

After leaving Glasgow we went the scenic route to Edinburgh, travelling north via Loch Lomond to Crainlarach then across through the Trussocks to Stirling, where we visited the brilliant Sterling castle which is perched on the steep hills overlooking the motorway (although that wasn’t there w…
