Travel Day

Today is the day! I am so excited to travel internationally again! I can’t decide which country I am most excited for the most. I am not looking forward to the long travel days but know it will be worth it in the end. I’m excited to see the different cultures and architecture of the places. I am excited but scared to try the different foods. I can’t wait for the Harry Potter vibes and all the movie memorabilia. 
I’m hoping everything goes smoothly travel wise and we don’t run into any issues.

London, England

We took the train to london. I enjoyed seeing the countryside and sea on the way there. I was surprised when we arrived because it did not look like we were entering a major city. I am a Harry Potter fan so I was excited to see the Platform 9 3/4. I was upset we didn’t get a photo with it because the line was too long but I got a photo of it. We enjoyed some shopping and dining Trafalgar Square. I didn’t enjoy this area as much as other areas of London. There were too many people and tourists.  The next day I really enjoyed our guided bus tour with Stuart. He kept the information interesting and engaging. I loved Buckingham Palace and seeing all the locations we see on the television. I was most excited to go to the Tower of London because I did my presentation on it. My favorite part was the torture chambers because it was interesting to see how the prisoners were treated. I also enjoyed the White Tower.  For our free day we visited the iconic Abbey Road. I got my pi...

Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dunbar

We got to explore Glasgow for bit after we got off the plane. I enjoyed my first coffee in Scotland at a cute little coffee shop in Glasgow. When we got to Edinburgh I was surprised by how our hotel looked. I loved the architecture inside and out. My room was massive with tall ceilings and windows. It was an old building converted into a hotel. We enjoyed a nice dinner before calling it a night.   Next, we toured the Royal Mile. I was interested to hear about all the history about the Royal Mile. I loved the Edinburgh Castle, my favorite part being the prisons. I was surprised to see they slept in hammocks and used to create their own replica currency to bribe guards and use once they got out! The Holyrood Palace at the bottom was also very pretty. I hiked up Calton hill and got a perfect view of old and new town. I was very windy up there but we got some great pictures.  On our last day, I traveled by train to Dunbar. Dunbar is a coastal down outside of Edinburgh. ...

Travel Day 2

We are on our way home! I am excited to get back. I am not excited for the 3 flights I have to take but hopefully everything goes smoothly. A friend of mine from high school was in the Dublin airport the same time we were so I met up with her for a bit before I had to board. Overall I enjoyed the trip and loved our guide. My favorite place was Scotland and my least favorite was London. I would visit Edinburgh again in the future. Each country had its own unique way of life and I preferred what Scotland had to offer. I think this was a good way to celebrate the start of summer and my graduation. I can’t wait to give my family their souvenirs.
