Decided to stop worrying about how to post my travel pictures and splurged for a FlickrPro<\/a> account – so you can see all 71photos I took during the week in Scotland here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Scotland<\/a> \"Scotland<\/a> \"Scotland<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Quick run-down of what we did:<\/p>\n

Friday<\/b>
\nTravel to Glasgow<\/i>. Exploration of the lively West End\/university quarter (where our hostel was), including a very nice meal at a cute Italian restaurant and drinks at a renovated church.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/b>
\nGlasgow<\/i> all the way – seeing the sights (cathedral, university, The Lighthouse museum, Mackintosh House), enjoying the city. Tea with . At night out with Regina's friend Alex and some of his mates.<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/b>
\nTrip by train and ferry to Alex' home Inellan<\/i>, near Dunoon at the Firth of Clyde. Absolutely fantastic weather, perfect for savouring in the sea. Spending the night enjoying the hospitality of Alex' parents.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/b>
\nTrip to Edinburgh<\/i> by bus. Climbing Arthur's Seat for a fantastic view (and freezing wind). In the evening exploring the New Town, having Fish n'Chips and seeing In Good Company<\/a> in the cinema.<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/b>
\nFirst snow, then pouring rain as we continue to enjoy Edinburgh<\/i>. Regina goes to explore the castle (which I've already been to last summer), while I go check out a bookstore. Then we walk down the Royal Mile, since the sun was out again, and have a look at the fantastic modern Scottish Parliament. In the evening we play Snooker, a strange version of Pool, at the hostel. I even win once. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/b>
\nQuick trip to Leith<\/i>, which would have been nice if it hadn't been cold and raining. Then catching a bus back to Glasgow<\/i>, where we unsuccesfully try to find a tearoom still open for scones. But I do find the 'Forbidden Planet' fantasy and science-fiction bookstore.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/b>
\nA loong day, as I spend much time waiting around for planes to catch back home<\/i>, while Regina takes the train to Brighton to see a friend.<\/p>\n

Once again I discover I really love Scotland. And I finally come to the decision that, as a place to live, Glasgow is absolutely fantastic, much better than Edinburgh, beautiful as it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
