Going North - seaside as never seen before

Every time people talk about going to the beach one imagines heat and bikini lines...not us.

We are not all that fond of getting sand in our special places, so when we say: we're going to the beach our friends have a questioning look in their faces.

For me, one of the most beautiful beaches I've been to is in Scotland, and it is called Portobello. It used to be the "in" place for Scottish riviera, but now with Easyjet and alike you can tet anywhere in Europe (that is hotter and melanin approved) with less than what it is worth. 

Better for us, we are also loners folk.

  We then went on to catch some pretty shells in a beach a bit further down the road, a bit wilder but nonetheless worth the trip (and the rock hopping!)

Sooo, we can say, beyond a doubt, that we've been to the beach this summer. And by the looks of these pictures we ade sure no eyebrows will be raised! 

Going North - a Scottish adventure.

Scotland is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. It has got everything one needs in an adventure: wonderful landscapes, beautiful villages, interesting  history, yummy food and alcohol, and good people. 

I am traveling with my bf and my step-dad, who lived in Edinburgh for over 20 years...so I also got my personal guide for this journey. 

We decided to see some interesting places close to Edinburgh, where we put out base camp up 106 steps, in a cozy little apartment overlooking Prince's St. 

This is the view, in case you're wondering:

We also get the perfect view of the Scott Monument and the Firth of Forth with wonderful sunsets (when the skies give us permission) from our bathroom window: 

  

I am, as I said, in love with this country.
