I går aftes kom vi hjem fra fem dage i Edinburgh. Det er virkelig lækkert at bo fem minutter fra lufthavnen, når man skal ud på sådan en tur. De fem dage hvor vi var i Skotland, var vi så heldige at få lov til at bo på vores venner Kat og Simon’s sofa i de dage, så turen var ikke ret dyr på det punkt. Vi var også i Edinburgh sidste sommer, men der boede vi på hostel (som var helt elendigt, fordi nogle gik i seng kl. 3 og nogle stod op kl. 6). I år fik vi set nogle andre ting end sidste år, og jeg synes, at jeg har fået krydset en del af på min Edinburgh-bucket list.

I hvert fald ville jeg lige vise nogle billeder vores fem dage i Edinburgh. Jeg planlægger også at vise flere billeder og lave post i detaljer, in case nogle gerne vil have inspiration til egne ture. Vi ankom sent onsdag aften og tog bus 35 til vores venners lejlighed. Første hele dag, torsdag, regnede det en del (som det jo gør i Skotland). Derfor var vi mest på Edinburgh’s Camera Obscura and World of Illusions og på café. Om aftenen var vi på lækre Nando’s. Fredag, hvor jeg fik lavet en ny tatovering, var en lækker og solrig dag. Vi shoppede og var på museum, og om aftenen bestilte vi take-away med Kat og Simon. Lørdag havde vores venner fri, så der så vi blandt andet Dean Village og Edinburgh Botanical Gardens. Vi fik lækker mad nede på Grassmarket til frokost og pga. held med temperatur og vejr grillede vi udenfor. Marks & Spencer har noget seriøst lækkert grillmad! Søndag var lidt blæsende, så vi var mest i butikker og ude af spise/drikke. Mandag fik vi en omgang fish and chips, før vi tog til lufthavnen og endte i København.

Tak fordi du kiggede med .D

Last night we came home after five days in Edinburgh. It is really nice to now live five minutes away from the airport. During the five days in Scotland, we were luckily to stay at our friends’s (Kat and Simon) place so in that way the trip was not very expensive. We were also in Edinburgh last summer, but then we stayed at a hostel (which was a terrible decision because some went to bed at 3AM and others woke up at 6AM). This year we saw some things that we did not have enough time to see last year, but now I feel that I’ve crossed out some things on my Edinburgh bucket list.

Anyways, I though that I’d show you some pictures from our five days in Edinburgh. I’m planing on showing more pictures and make detailed posts, in case anyone wants inspiration for own trips. We arrived late Wednesday and took the bus (no. 35) to our friends’ flat. The first whole day, Thursday, it rained quite a lot (as it does in Scotland). Therefore we were mostly at Edinburgh’s Camera Obscurant and World of Illusions and at cafés. That night we went to Nando’s. Friday, where I got a new tattoos, was a lovely and sunny day. We shopped and went to museum and at night we ordered take-away with Kat and Simon. Saturday our friends were off fro work so we went to Dean Village and Edinburgh Botanical Gardens. We had some delicious food at the Grassmarket for lunch and due to nice weather and temperatures we had a BBQ outside. Marks & Spencer has some seriously yummy food for barbecuing! Sunday was sort of windy so we mostly shopped and ate out. Monday we had fish and chips before we went to the airport and ended up in Copenhagen.

Thanks for reading.

Hej igen! I dag har jo bare været fantastisk med det skønne vejr, i hvert fald her i Aarhus.

Jeg er lidt småstresset i hverdagen pga. speciale, så det var lækkert at kunne sove længe i dag. Frederik og jeg valgte så at tage ud på en lille kærestedate i byen, fordi vejret var så skønt. Vi købte sandwiches og vand i Kiwi og tog cyklen ned til Marselisborg Strand, hvor vi lå en times tid. Det var lidt koldt med blæsten, så vi tog videre til Tangkrogen, hvor vi fik en kæmpe Marselisborg vaffel, som vi delte .D De havde faktisk nogle spændende smage: karamel med Læsøsalt, milk & cookies og hvid chokolade blandt andet.

Efter det cyklede vi ind i byen, hvor jeg købte nyt solcreme i Matas og nogle flasker “sommerglød bodylotion”, som jeg så. Den må jeg prøve i morgen! Derefter tog vi hen og prøvede “Toast It”, en toast restaurant tæt på Klostertorvet. Jeg så den først for ca. 7 måneder siden, og nu fik vi endelig prøvet det. “Classic” og “choriso” var mega lækre, så dem kan jeg klart anbefale!

Til sidst tog vi til Botanisk Have, hvor vi så de flotte sakura, som endelig var sprunget ud. Det tager jo lidt længere tid her i Danmark, fordi der ikke er så varmt som i Japan. I morgen er der hanami event med studiet, men da Frederik og jeg skal til Odense til min fætters konfirmation kan jeg jo ikke komme med. Så det må blive næste år.

Alt i alt var det en virkelig hyggelig dag, hvor vi havde tid til at nyde hinanden i det gode vejr. Jeg håber, at i også har nydt det, hvis vejret har været lige så godt hos jer.

Hello again! Today has just been amazing with great weather, at least here in Aarhus. 

I am a bit stressed on the weekdays because of my thesis, so it was really nice to be able to sleep in today. Frederik and I chose to have a date day, because the weather has been so nice. We bought sandwiches and water in Kiwi and biked to Marselisborg beach, where we lay for an hour. It was a bit cold because of the wind by the sea, so we continued the date at Tangkrogen, where we shared a huge Marselisborg ice cream. They actually had some interesting flavors: caramel with Læsøsalt, milk & cookies and white chocolate among others.

After that we went to the centre of the city where I bought some new sunscreen and some bottles of “summer glow body lotion”. I have to try that tomorrow! After that, we went to “Toast It” which is a toast restaurant close to Klostertorvet. I saw the place about 7 months ago and we finally tried it. “Classic” and “choriso” were both really good, so definitely try that if you can!

Finally we went to the botanical garden where the beautiful sakura finally bloomed. It takes a bit longer for them to bloom here in cold Denmark. Tomorrow there’s a hanami event with Japan Studies, but Frederik and I am going to my cousin’s confirmation in Odense. So it’ll have to be next year.

All in all it was a great day where we had time to enjoy each other under the sun. I hope that you’ve enjoyed the day too.
