Semester break in England is from the 11.-18. of February and thus Christina came up here to Edinburgh to visit me and see a little bit of Scotland. This time we even had more luck with the weather :). As usual we made some very nice pictures.

We went to see Glasgow for a day. It was a nice trip and we have seen the most intersting parts of town.

The day before our Glasgow trip we went to the Ocean Terminal shopping center in Leith where the Royal Yacht Britannia is located.

On Wednesday we made a day trip to Pitlochry where the picture with the waterfall was taken. We also went to a Whiskey Distillery and made a very interesting tour there. I am now a whisky expert! Since Pitlochry is also known for its nice walks we made the Edradour tour where we saw a beautiful waterfal and some very nice scenery.

We also went to see the Edinburgh Castle. I still had some vouchers so we could go in for free. There are 2 museums in the castle and the view over Edinburgh is just terrific.

I also finally had the chance to go to the Doctor’s Pub with Christina. A place where Christian (hello to Switzerland) and I went to eat the famous Ben Nevis Burger :). Well, the week went by quickly and Christina had to go back to London because school started again and I had to get busy with university again. But it was a very nice and exciting week!
