The first day we landed in edinburgh, scotland.. We reach there at 8pm at nite.. Found our hostel which look like a pub from the outside but its alrite in the inside.. So after checking-in and putting our luggage then we went out for dinner, our first dinner in edinburgh, i had fish and chips.. Nice.. ^.^ Then after that it was sleeping time..
7th April 2009
The first morning in edinburgh, we left the hostel at 8.30 am i think and we left for the tourist information to ask on things to do in edinburgh, we spent almost 2 hours there just to make up our mind wat to do.. loads of stuff but so little time.. In the end we booked a trip to LOCH NESS a lake where the legendary nessie monster was said to be found!! *exicting* in a "really that existing????" tone.. Well after being there for 2 hours, we got on the tour bus of edinburgh and went to the palace of hoolyroad park.. Nice place but we din enter the palace becasue it needed $$ so we skipped the entering the castle part instead we took pictures outside the castle.. And the parliament was just next to it but we din noe.. =.= how sad..
Anyway, after that stop we went to the national musuem and before that we had our lunch.. The national musuem was really fun.. There were dress up stalls in every level of the musuem and we had alot of fun trying on the clothes that they provide.. THe best was the viking period clothing.. We all looked like uncle and aunty of the past.. HAHA..
The funny part was when we chase the tour bus as we wanted to get to the edinburgh castle then when we caught up with the bus, the driver told us that the castle was just a few minutes up the road... "WTF" HAHA.. But well some exercise i guess.. HAHA.. When we reach the castle it was ady 5.30 and the castle shuts at 6.30 and so the cute guard suggest we head back there on friday.. ^.^ So instead of entering the castle, we head to the illusion thing instead.. Had fun in there with the weird mirrors.. HAHA.. Nice place.. ^.^
The cute guard.. ^.^
The illusion world.. ^.^
Then we went back to our hostel, rest for a little while then we went to mcdonalds for dinner and then we headed off the the so call "scary tour" around edoinburgh which was not at all.. But it was nice knowing the history of edinburgh though.. ^.^ Then went back sleep..

This is the day we went to the alnwick castle or more well known, the harry potter castle.. ^.^ Me and fong yee were super excited as we were both very into harry potter but the rest of our frens were alrite with it.. Really sorry to drag everyone into this trip.. Sorry.. ^.^ Anyway, getting back to the castle.. It is just awesome.. The views were really like wat we have seen in the movie but although most of it is computer graphic i mean in the movie..
At the castle we found hagrid's hut oh yea and also the pitch where harry first learn quitditch..
And our tour guide was one of the actor in harry's first movie.. Wow.. HAHA.. HE was quite cute though.. AHHA.. WEll we spent the whole day at the castle, got back to edinburgh and had TGIF for dinner.. Nice.. ^.^

Another day out to loch ness a 4 hours journey up the hills and back.. Damn tiring.. But i think it was an ok trip not really really worth it but it was alrite.. A day i guess was not enough for this loch ness trip.. Might need couple of days.. There were alot of caravans on our journey up the mountains.. Some sights were really very facisinating.. To me i love secenery and hilltops and icy waterfall seing it fall and so it was really interesting for me but i am not sure of the rest.. But the most dissapointing part was that we got on the boat on the search for the so call "legandary monster" that stayed in loch ness, NESSIE!!! Well to those who have been there and on the boat i guess they will understand my dissapointment.. ^.^ But again the scenery was awesome.. ^.^ Loved it alot.. Dinner was buffet!! Chinese buffet, it was alrite.. Wasnt really delicious.. Not much food to choose from but at least it was not tat saltish..
This hamish has a CV... ^.^
Well the best part of this day was that on our way back to the hostel, some scottish guy told me " By the way, i think you are cute".. HAHAH.. Overjoyed by the words that he told me.. ^.^ Too bad i miss the chance to take a picture with him.. =.= regret man..

AFter the castle went for a little shopping and bought meself a scottish skirt.. Quite cute.. ^.^ After taht KFC for lunch and then caught the 4pm bus to the airport... Took the 7pm flight back to luton airport and took taxi back to hatfield..
Conclusion.. HAHA..
This was the secound trip that i have organised and with the help of fong yee and ru yee although there were some problems and mistakes here and there but i felt that this trip was the best trip.. Learnt alot, expereinced alot and most importantly had alot of fun.. I guess this will be the last trip that we can hang out like this as after this it will be finals and the last finals that i will be sitting for.. After this is off to the real world for me.. A little nervouse i can say.. Oh well got to face it.. That's the circle of life.. ^.^
