(the world largest Whiskey collection)
(from Edinburgh Castle)
SORRY that im slacking again in the Blog department, but Ive starting writing in my journal again and keeping up two tabs on my adventures is getting a bit tedious BUT I still enjoy sharing so bare with me!
RITA AND I WERE REUNITED AGAIN...
i know were together all the time but this is the first time since March that we have travelled together and it was oh so fun of course!
So I started my weekend off well because Sara and I agreed to switch dates to work so I had Friday off and now work this Saturday because they are having a dinner party and need help with the girls: so I get to do swimming lessons with Isabella Saturday!!! Thus Friday I got to sleep in which was NEEDED seeing that I us nannies went out on Thursday of course and had a blast of course! Ive been thinking a lot lately about the fact that in less than two months Im going to leave them forever, which is sad. Its going to be reality really soon because Kylie is going home for a month holiday on the 27th and we will just miss eachother before I leave - so this Thrusday shes having a get together at her house! Sorry I got a little off track there, anywhere Friday I had to work at the school though so I was up for that at 12, and Livy has asked to volunteer on her school trip this afternoon after working lunch duty, so that will be interesting haha but Im a sucker and said yes lol so we are going to the marsh for enviroment week.
We got to Edinburgh and found out hostel and went to a local bar that was across the street. Upon arrival we met a Courtney from Vancover who was backpacking alone and seemed to be missing home and lonely so we invited her out and went for a few drinks, and then off to bed for our busy weekend! Saturday we woke up and walked to the Royal Mile the main street in Edinburgh. From there we headed to Edinburgh Castle which had amazing views and then went to walk the Grassmarket and the Royal Mile. We stopped at a really cool pub that gave us a backpackers discount which is always welcome! After a great afternoon we went home for a small nap and to get ready for our night out. Saturday night was my favourite part (usually is) we had a great dinner and went our way on our own pub crawl. Went to a pub with live scotish folk music which was my favourite and a dance bar called Frankestein that had a very cool venue with a LIVE monster (it was ritas fav) and then stopped at a few other pubs before calling it a night. Sleeping in a hostel with 6 other girls can be interesting and you get so characters... Rita and I laughed because at like 6am a girl feel off her top bunk and her friend didnt even get up to help her!
PS. we also went to a Whiskey Tour on Saturday and saw the worlds largest Whiskey collect that had 3400 bottles collected over 35 years!
Sunday we climbs a large mountain beside Aurther Seat a volcano that is 350 million years old - this also gave us an amazing view! Then we just walked the Royal Mile again and got a nice lunch with a view of the Castle! We were so tired on this trip, for an unknown reason but it was great anyways. I caught up with my sleep last night, I went to bed for a quick nap after work at 7:30 and didnt get up until this morning!!! IT WAS THE BEST!
I just got a msg from my hairdresser Trisha who is visiting with friends and we might get together Friday! Then I babysit saturday and Rita and I will do stuff to fill in the brakes. Im starting to really stress out about getting life ready to leave here but also get ready life to start there!!!
AHHH August 6th is coming so soon!
