Who’s your springfling?
So who’s you springfling going to be? You know that quick fling you have during the spring. A small hook up. An attraction if you may. Maybe thats not an expression used on travels, but stick with me here… we’ve all had this puppy love connection to a place. You just adore it. Or maybe you fall head over heals in love with a place and cant get enough of it. Maybe even facebook stalk it, huh? I would say that Edinburgh is my springfling, not just a one nighter, more of a reaccuring dream. We met last year and really hit it off, so I cant wait to reconnect…

Tv-series that inspire traveling
Well yes, while our boys would say that there’s no need to inspire us to travel, you always find inspiration somewhere, right? When Maria from Fantasydining wrote about how she experienced Paris like a Gossip Girl, it made me think of a lot of different movies and tv-series that have inspired me to travel or made me want to visit a place. Enjoy the read, hopefully, it will inspire you in some way, maybe to travel or to reenter the magical world of marathon-watching old series. I mean, what better way to start the autumn right, with some great tv-series that will inspire your traveling and a cup of tea…

Bucketlist for 2019
Okey, lets do one of thease bucketlists for 2019… is it cheating to put Madrid on the bucketlist, even though we already booked it? Madrid – Yes, I’m putting it in there. It’s a safe way to get one point. Rome – Ann has been there, done that, but she wouldnt mind doing it again. Angelica hasent been there so it would be a great city to visit together. New Orleans – that a bit of an overreach, but a bucketlist doesnt have to be all obtainable, does it? Malta – we’ve talked about going to Malta for years now, for the history and the sun ofcourse, so I say…

Welcome, hello. This is our second advent sunday christmas wishlist, predictions, wants and needs in alphabetical order. 9th of december, while 9 days left until our next trip. Seems fitting doesnt it? G for Gibraltar. Did you know that if you visit Marbella, on a clear and sunny day, you can see all the way to Gibraltar? There are boattrips that take you from Marbella to Gibraltar, daytrips including dolphinsafari for 45 €. At the Upper rock you will surely bump in to one of the threehundred wild monkeys that live there, but be careful, they are known to be a bit violent, so keep distance. Highlands, yes to travel…

The scottish whiskey experience
No, I’m not a big fan of whiskey, but when you bring the whiskey-loving husband to Edinburgh, there’s bound to be whiskey. And to be fair, its not just quite right beeing in Scotland and not going on a whiskey tour is there? So we ended up at the Scottish whiskey experience, located just before the Edinburgh Castle, in the old town. Beautiful building. You start out with a digital tour, sitting in a small whiskey barrel, where you get some information on how the scots make whiskey. Then there’s a tour guide/storyteller and a movie showing on all of the different districts in Scotland, like Highland, Speyside Islands, Lowlands,…

More of Edinburgh
Yes I know I’ve already shown you a great bunch of images from my weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland, but you’re gonna see a whole lot more. I am so in love with this city. I mean, look at the images below, that architecture, how can you not fall in love? Here’s hoping, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I get to see Edinburgh again during the spring, I would love to go there during the Beltane fire festival. The last time we were in Edinburgh we missed the Samhuinn Fire festival by just a few days, so we saw all the preparations around the city and that really inspred…

And then I’m truly hoping to go back to Scotland in the spring and visit Edinburgh during the Beltane fire festvale. Where are you going next?

Edinburgh
Going to Edinburgh was not on my bucketlist, but seeing as impulsecontroll’s not my strong suit, I booked a trip for me and my husband last year. And since that trip I simply cant wait to go back. It was just one of those places where you fit right in. The atmosphere, the people, the architecture and the history. Oh the history. Yes, I’m somewhat of a geek when it comes to the Scottish history, dont get me started. Edinburgh gave me a lesson in Gin. I had no idea that there were so many different kinds of Gin. Have you ever had sloe gin? It’s redonkulously tasty, and quite…
