Which destination was next in the list? Well, that's this pretty city of Edinburgh, a little up north from Newcastle. Petra, Leong and I arrived when the Sun was mid rising, hence, the photo above. The sight was just refreshing. We did not exactly have the best weather during our visit but it was tolerable and it wasn't much a bother when we were allowed to witness such beautiful sights of the city area and also the mountain area.
We couldn't stay long here because the wind became too strong for our poor little umbrellas to handle
Not to mention that it was highly impossible to get a photo without my hair in my face
The view from Edinburgh Castle while waiting in line to get tickets for entry
It was an absolutely delight of a sight, I just love wide flat areas where you can overlook the majority of the land
More photos with us girls having hair in our faces
Looking good, Leong (unlike us)
Virgin Money Street of Light
At night, we went for the Christmas market and this scaredy cat rode this scaring ride above
Of course without Petra, I would have never got on it
I am usually up for a challenge to try something new and different (ok, I chicken out alot too), just getting on this ride pretty much made my heart sank down low because I was terrified but you know what, I felt proud of myself for doing so and plus the view was just too hard to look away. I had one hand holding on tight for my dear life and the other covering my eyes but I consistently peeked through because it was an absolute thrill being so high up. Being swung round and round at a fast pace not so much. Plus we were up close to the Edinburgh Tower so it felt like we were going to slam into it. Anyways, Jay came by a little later where we adventure off late night up the hills near the National Monument of Scotland. We had the city fast asleep, no rain or wind to interfere us and just peace and quiet. Pure bliss.
