Picturesque Scotland

Me, with my backpack on top
of another backpack on the
train in England (hot, I know).

Just arrived in Edinburgh.

The girls, and our mass of

luggage.

Checking out the shops.

Me and the pretty red post box.

Random Park-ish thing, near

our flat.

A cool looking building.

Shamwagon Monkey.

Edinburgh Castle on the hill.

An old building (remember

how good I was at this?)
I don't know why I bother...

Me, with Edinburgh Castle

in the distance.

The pretty ferris wheel, and a

cool building (i believe it was

a church).

The entrance of the cute

"German" market.

Some museum...

Me, and my chocolate-

covered strawberries at

the Christmas market! Yum.
I also enjoyed some fab mulled wine.

More of Edinburgh...

The Christmas market.

The outdoor skating rink!

Some of the rides at the carnival.

The castle with some lights on.

Ohhhhh heaven, how I miss

Starbucks... I'm going to live

there even more when I get

home than before! Hooray!

Okay, so I'll narrate this one
because I'm sure you are all
curious lol. So, Cindy has a
placement at a rock climbing
school, and was cool enough to
bring a rope with her on her
travels to practice tying knots
and somehow we managed to
construct this... random, yes.

Hanging out with some chips lol.

That's Coco, Maria, Tuti, and Aman.

Me and Aman being stupid.

Cindy cooking her fab fajitas!

Mmmmm, fajitas!!!

Me and another fun fountain!

Christmas train! :) yay.

Me, Aman, Tuti, Maria, and

Cindy infront of the fountain

and the castle.

Reindeer! :)

Me and Aman with the carriage

horses!

Me, Maria, and Amanda with

a bagpiper!!! lol.

Me in some wierd whale-

bone chair seating jig

at the Royal Museum of

Edinburgh. Twas' a jolly
good time.

Me in this little thing here.

Me afraid...

Space suit! (It makes

me look fat!) lol.

Me, attempting, to lift

my weight. That was fun.

The robot spelled my name! :)

Zoom zoom zoom.

Mmmm, I desperately needed

this Mocha fix, this was after at

least 3 hours on the bus to get
closer to Loch Ness.

Outside the cafe, and with

the beautiful Scottish Mountains

in the background. Snowy and

everything.

Just plain ol' me.

A cool picture I took from the

bus.

Here again... I can have some

photography skills when I try,
which I rarely do. Damn.

Me, with some more mountains...

one of our pitstops through the

Highlands, wow, it was cold.

Look, mountains!

Me and Aman.

Pretty.

Me, somewhere else.

Aman and me.

Glencoe... some big, interesting

story goes along with this, but

I'm not telling it, lol.

I'm on a mountain! And I look

quite proud of myself, lol.

Aman and Me, being stupid, again.

Ooowwww.

I love mountains. I love Scotland.

My first picture at Loch Ness.

I'm on top (of Urquhart Castle)!

A tight squeeze.

Checking out Loch Ness from

the castle.

We sure did enjoy playing in the

castle!

Pretty.

I'm nearly falling to my death.

Sooo gorgeous.

Part of Urquhart Castle.

Aman, showing the castle off.

Through a window.

Help.

Haha, this was fun. Those were

some steep stairs, I nearly fell!

I love it here.

More castle ruins.

again.

Cindy, Maria, and Tuti at the

castle.

Love this picture.

Some catapult-y thing.

Viking play-time!

Taking off on the boat.

Feeling the frigid wind in my hair.

Loch Ness was huge and amazing!

So, fun story of Edinburgh. Our

lock to the flat sucked major. It

was apparently really old and
well, didn't work. So whilst inside

the flat you musn't lock it, or you

will get locked in (we fashioned

a pretty brick in front of the door

at night), and when coming back

to the flat, this lock actually took,

no exaggerations, 10 minutes to

unlock, everytime!!!!! Oh, the joys

of free accommodation.

Some of Edinburgh's amazing

architecture.

Me, on a stairwell, and yes,
I'm excited!

The church and carnival from

god only knows where.

On the ferris wheel... It looked

fun and pretty when you were
safe on the ground, but once you

got up there, there was this fab

creaky noise that sounded like

death was upon us.

Nice views though.

The carnival from up top.

Me, whisking down this fun lil

thing.

Me, on the yo-yo swing ride

like at saanichton fair... It was
so fun, because it went crazy

fast and titled up and down! :)

This is my "OMG, if you ever

touch me again while I'm on these

skates, I will push you down
and laugh hysterically" face. :)

My skates sucked.

Edinburgh's Winter Wonderland.

Some cool thing.

The view from climbing part

of a mountain called "Arthur's Seat."

Me, about to pass out, climbing

Arthur's Seat. (ps, it's pronouced

like that, no idea if it's actually

spelt like that!)

Pretty views of the ruins on
some other mountain!

The Parguans (or Paraguay, as

we called them), bring up the
rear... as usual, lol.

Me, on the mountain.
