Oh Yeah, I Went to Scotland

Hello,

This post should have been sooner, but it's not so late really.

This last easter I went to visit my friend Jonathan who lives and studies in Aberdeen, Scotland. We started the trip by him meeting me in Edinburgh, where my airport was. We stayed two nights there, at the Castle Rock Hostel (quite nice, actually). We walked around a lot, even out to his brother's house, but we didn't do any tourist-y things really. And I took almost no photos, so I haven't much to show you guys, but at least a few.

Our biggeast feat during our stay in Edinburgh was no doubt when we climbed / walked up Arthur's Seat, a hill next to the city. It was very windy, but still worth it. Nice views of the city.
Here's a couple of pics from the hill:




The picture above is of some monument that was at the very top of the hill. Very graffittied.

After Edinburgh we took the train to Aberdeen. We didn't do so much in Aberdeen really, just walked about town, shopped a bit, and he showed me his school. Then we pretty much watched a couple of movies and just hanged. It was really nice.
Even so, we did visit the beach, which was surprisingly nice and large. It was probably the biggest beach I've seen, since it stretches far up north and south, along the coast of Scotland. It was very nice, and so was Aberdeen (though I like Edinburgh more, it was awesome).

Here're some pics from the beach:



Well, now I don't have so much to say really. I greatly recommend visiting Scotland (even though this post doesn't shine such a great light on it), and especially Edinburgh. I had a great time at least.

Oh, if you want more pictures, I recommend you to check out my Flickr page (link to the left), I have a few more there.

Till next time.
