- It all started at Shakespeare’s birth place at Stafford upon Avon.
- Then we were off to Kenilworth Castle to be kids for a day and play in the ruined castle, where my childhood dream of being a princess came true.
- Climbing all around the ruined castle was a blast. The greatest part was seeing a bunch of twenty somethings run around like it was recess, exporting, climbing and jumping!
- The next trip was to Scotland! It was a looong coach ride but it was certainly worth it! First stop Cairngorm Mountain Reindeer Centre. Let’s get one thing straight, I’m not an animal person but I try(really hard) but animals smell fear and freak out on me! I’m just happy my “friend” was there to snap a pic just in time to capture a loving moment between the reindeer and I.
- Then we went to Loch Ness for a boat trip to spot Nessie. I think I found her!
- This was a visit to Urquhart Castle
- Of course I had to go in a dungeon its like tradition or something.
- Next was Glen Coe Visitors Centre for a guided hike through the Glen Coe valley. Now this was absolutely stunning. it was great to get in touch with nature after a long week of mid terms.
- By this time I was ready for Oban Scotland a beautiful seaside city.
- Despite the dodgy hostel Edinburgh was my favorite. It had a blooming nightlife full of fun bars and dance clubs!
- last but not least our weekend ended at the Edinburgh Castle which is conveniently perched on an extinct volcano. I guess that’s better than a reindeer trying to bite your face off right?

We stayed at 3 Hostels one in Glencoe, Oban, then Edinburgh. If by interesting you mean extremely dirty and had weird guys walking around then yes I totally agree with you! Haha it was great the first two nights but the last one was really gross! but we did have a blast meeting a hole bunch of people!
Whoa!!! I was in Edinburgh from March 1-3 with my program too! But I didn’t get to nearly as many laces as you’ve been since we were only given one and a half day to explore.
I did see Edinburgh Castle though. My dad’s been there and he recommended it. It’s such a lovely place!
Which hostel did you stay? It was my first time staying at a hostel. It was an interesting experience haha.
I love you pictures!! I’m so jealous that you got to go to Shakespeare’s birthplace and to see Nessie. And is that a reindeer in one of your pictures?
