In the mind of a "New Breed": SCOTLAND!!

... March 18th-21st

so acting on impulse me and a few friends took a trip to scotland!! we went by bus took about 9 hours. Anyone who knows me knows i cant sit still for a long period of time and it didnt help that we were in the back row and the seats couldnt recline! The ride wasnt bad thanks to my ipod and my sleep playlist! it was smoooooth sailing lol

Edinburgh in Scotland was amazing! The weather was good and our hostel was right in the center of everything, even equipped with a bar called Belushis!:). The famous edinburgh castle was a 10 minute walk up the Royal Mile and down the Royal Mile was the palace where the queen of England stays when she comes to Edinburgh. (thats where the Royal Mile gets its name by having the castle on one end and the palace on another ... BUT the distance between the two isnt a mile but it was cooler to say Royal Mile as the Scots would say).

There is also a huge hill..mountain called "Arthur's Seat" which takes either 30 to 2 hrs to climb up depending what root you take. The view when you reach the top is amazing, you get to see everything of the city of Edinburgh and other neighboring cities with a 360 view! (warning: dont try and climb the morning after a pub crawl .. lol i mean i made it up but the birthday girl had difficulties)

The 2nd night we did a ghost tour that took us through various "haunted" places in Edinburgh and then down underground. The ghost stories some seemed like they can be true while others i dont know. The tour guide was pretty cool. Although, while in the vault me and my roomate Bill heard footsteps behind us and no one was there and the guide explained a story later on in the next room that its a ghost called "Boots" who likes to stomp on the ground and walk around to get people out. Also me and another friend seen lights flashing from another room (there are only candles down in the vault no lights) Again our tour guide told a story of a ghost playing with lights to get their victims to leave! It was a little freaky but i was actually excited to see some paranormal activity happening so i got my moneys worth.
- Scotland has this drink called buckfast which is linked to most crimes and they are working on banning it . it tastes just like sangria

we spent a day in the highlands which is about a couple hours north and there were nothing but mountains and water is was so cool. The mountains had snow on the top and some had clouds on them and some were dry with water on the bottom. We also went to the lochness where the whole lochness monster originated. It was cool just seeing the lake and the mountains.
