Scotland!


Wow, it was really a great week in Scotland. No better way to start a trip that program all night until we left :D It was about 2.00am at the Wednesday night when we leaved from Elms. First we took 3.00am bus and then 6.30am flight from Dublin to Edinburgh. We arrived to Edinburgh about 9.00am without no sleep. Sebastian's friend Antonio was waiting us in bus stop and we headed to his place, where we were staying. Antonio showed us Edinburgh city in Thursday and Friday.









Saturday we headed to Glassgow where Sebastian's friend Edu stidies. Scotland-Italy football game was in Glassgow in that day so there were a lot of italian and scotish football fans and all the bars were packed full. Glassgow is maybe not really great place for a tourist, but for a one day trip it was good. We visited Glassgow Catethral, University and some major attractions. After a day of walking we headed back to Edinburgh to rest a bit, because next day was going to be a long day.



Sunday started early. We took to a trip to highlands. Plan was to make our way up to Loch Ness and spot the Nessie :) Roads were good and driver was mad, thats about all you need to have a good road trip.

A lot was seen in one day. After darkness came, we headed back to Edinburgh. Monday we just chilled in Edinburgh doing nothing special, making some shopping ofcourse. In the evening it was time to say goodbye to Antonio and head to airport. Flight's were smooth and after we even realized we were back in Belfast, home sweet home.

Here's some more photos through the way

Halloween

Last Wednesday was halloween. It is kinda big thing in UK, I really don't appreciate it so much. But anyway, maassa maan tavalla, so we had to dress up. I didn't have anything to dress few hours before the party, I was ready not to go anywhere. Sarah had an idea, that I should wear a girls cloths:S Well it wasn't so bad idea, so I loaned some clothes from Sarah. Dress, top and some make up.. :D ready to go

Party itself was really nice. Everybody had dressed and having good time. We missed fireworks that were at city center but I didn't even wanted to see it so no problem. Pictures are in facebook, I don't care upload them twice...


Life in Belfast is so normal now that I have started to want travel around UK. Me and Sebastian reserved flight tickets to Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, two weeks from now. We are staying there almoust a week, I think it's enough time to see the city. Some chance at least.
