UK Vacation 2015 Day 3; Exploring Edinburgh!

Goooood Morning!

It is day 3 of our UK trip.
Today we are jumping on a train to Scotland!! Super excited!
The train left at 8 in the morning, which meant we had to get up at around 6-7am... Way too early. But I am a super worrywart, so I do not want to miss the train, meaning I would rather sit and wait, rather than having to run to make it. Yeah, I sound kinda boring.. x) But at least we made the train.




So much beautiful nature! Scotland is very similar to Norway, but that's not so much of a shocker since we have the same climate and everything. After a couple of hours on train, crossing the border and officially entering Scotland, we jumped on a bus towards our hotel. Let me tell you, taking the bus in Scotland with all of our baggage was not easy. We took up so much space, hahaha x) But we made it, and the hotel was amazing! We got a super fancy room with a kitchen and everything. Sadly we didn't have too much time to enjoy it. Next time!


After throwing our stuff into the hotel, and getting ourself cleaned up, we went out to explore the beautiful city of Edinburgh. And let me tell you; Stunning! The buildings are so gorgeous and look like they are filled with so much history.



We stayed in a walking distance to most of the stuff, so we took the time to go check out Edinburgh Castle. Such a beautiful and interesting place. I'll let the photos speak for themselves





















So much history! I loved just walking around, taking it all in. After finishing our tour, we headed down closer to the sentrum looking for some food. Found some adorable little pigs. Funfact; pigs are my Chinese zodiac sign. So yeah, had to take a picture ^3^


This dude had incredible lungs! Like seriously, insanely strong lungs. Or he might just have learned a fancy pancy breathing technique letting him blow the bag for ages... What do I know. Still pretty impressive

LUNCH! :D


After eating we met up with a friend of my friend who was in town as well. Went for a couple of drinks before we headed back to the hotel to get som sleep before the next day. Because the next day we were heading to the festival! :D
