As I have promised I will write something about my trip to Scotland.
Last year I spent two weeks in a cottage near Edinburgh with my host family from
Bristol. The cottage was really really old and in the middle of nowhere. There
was no TV, no internet connection and no mobile phone reception! The only
means of communication was a rather antique telephone which didn't even work
properly! The hilly scenery was breathtakingly beautiful and there were sheep
everywhere! It was also an area of bird shooting and I remember being startled
a lot of times by a gunshot going off somewhere nearby.
The
cottage was about 30 minutes away from Edinburgh and we went there only a few
times. I was quite disappointed that I didn't get to see everything
because my host family goes there every summer so they weren't really
interested in the sights anymore. One time they let me explore the city
the entire day on my own, while they did something else and I was so happy
about that. It is a historic city and there is a lot to see. There
were kilted Scotsman playing the bagpipe and street artists performing everywhere.
Edinburgh has a lot to offer including stunning monuments, museums, shops and
enchanting little alleys. I spent hours taking in the sight along the Royal
Mile and exploring the labyrinth of small wynds and alleyways. The atmosphere
is magical and I will definitely travel there again!
