hadrian's wall, never heard of this before.
i guess it is the wall that separated the roman's and the scott's. it goes on for miles! we stopped for a few.
view from above the city in edinburgh our first night in scotland. so beautiful!! i love that i can see the ocean from there. the air is so crisp and fresh.
a small hike up to arthur's seat was planned on sunday afternoon. it was a hike and it's a good thing i wore my tightest pair of jeans! seriously.
it was so so beautiful.
on monday, we took off north to inverness. driving of course. we stopped at the culloden battle field but i didn't take much too it... i had no idea what it even was! don't judge.
we stayed the night and drove west to fort williams. loch ness was on the way and we all hoped we could catch nessie out of the water. unfortunately, it didn't happen. still, an amazing body of water!
"nessie".
after loch ness, there was time to spare walking around the city because we couldn't check into our hostel. of course, we found a cafe with FREE wi-fi. yay! the hostel was seriously in the mountains. afterall, we were in the highlands area. the land where people go to hike the mountain. they are the serious ones with the hiking sticks and everything!
when i say camping, i literally meant that. thirteen girls in one room. no floor space. and bugs flying in the windows. a spider got a yummy taste of my skin. ew.
kelsey's face speaks for itself.
we were on our way back to edinburgh for our last few nights in scotland and on the study! (can you believe that??) the area we drove through was amazing. everything is so beautiful, i feel like it's only things i've seen in movies!
stirling castle and the braveheart monument were right in our path to edinburgh.
alas, arriving back in edinburgh, we were all pleased to find out that we have our OWN rooms. i repeat, our own rooms! it's been wonderful.
spare time and a bit of a slower pace these last couple days has been the best thing.
perfect.
