Our day begins with a bus tour of the city where we get to see some fun and interesting places and things. Then up to the Edinburgh Castle where we get a full tour.  This is an amazing piece of history but it is still used and so it is in great condition.  In fact when we get there they…

Edinburgh 2006

After visiting Roslin we did what everyone in the world seems to do on a Sunday afternoon – we went to Ikea. Now Ikeas are presumably the same the world over. Too busy. So let's leave it at that. On arriving home with our hard won trophies (two bookcases) we debated what else to do. As it was st…

Because of the booked-out weekend at the hostel, I had to check out at 10am.  Said bye to the two cool German guys on their ad-hoc hiking trip into Northern Scotland, and got their contact info in case I ever drop into Hamburg.  ("We will show you great time!")  After finding out…

... went in a bit of a blur, but included a trip to the Botanics, one of my favourite places in the whole world, no exageration at all. The botanic gardens in Inverleith are one of the few places in Edinburgh that are every bit as magic to me at 28 as they were to mini-mi when I was five.  Th…

on my last day in scotland, i encountered the scottish weather for the first time in its not so pleasant form :) but it was a good incentive to try some more fringe festival shows. learned from my mistakes of day one i queued at the half price booth and used the waiting time to schedule my day. th…

We spent our second day as well in Edinburgh. In the morning we went to Edinburgh Castle. At the entrance, there was nearly everything prepared for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo Festival!!   The Castle was impressive and imposing!! You have an incredible city´s view from the Castle!  …

I have been to Edinburgh once before and that was in May 2007 when I did my first big trip over to Europe with my friend Melissa (melissak). Now I am back in Edinburgh for a second time with a bunch of my mates from the UK and some travbuddies. There was a fairly large group of us going up to Edinb…

From London to Bath, then to Stonehenge and Cotswolds, Oxford, and then back to London for more 2 days before going to Scotland. Incredible Edinburgh with all festivals right now in august, historic Stirling, and back to London again. London, the livest city in the world.

Some carefully selected pics from my hometown Edinburgh! which is by the way the most beautiful city ever:)

My brother and his now wife were over visiting us, so we were trying to figure out what to do and although I live here, its terrible the amount of things I haven’t seen! So we decided to do the Edinburgh Ghost Hunt, which for us started at 10pm at night (tremendous!) and finished at mid…

This morning I arise and walk my room mate down and give her a hug by and she heads back to Hawaii. (She is a very quick reader because she finished the book on the way home). I go back up and sleep a little longer. Then Head down for breakfast. Then make sure I have every thing I brought. Then I g…

The time was 6 a.m. and we had our first pints of Bulmers well on their way down so got another round in. I looked at Bryan as we both gave each other the knowing look as if to say, "this is how the weekend is gonna go" Word to the wise, Ryanair fly into Prestwick which is not exactly within Glasg…
