Historical Edinburgh



On our walk to Arthur's seat


Inside the gates of Edinburgh Castle

I have just spent the weekend up in Edinburgh and I had such a great time! At this time of year it is definately quieter than London (which is a nice change) and it was great because you can walk everywhere. The history in the Castle is amazing and I can recommend to go to the Camera Obsucra to get a great view of the city. I have booked my tickets to go back in August for the fringe festival, many people have told me how electric Edinburgh is during the festival, can't wait!

What an incredible three weeks!



Our first night in Berlin and it was snowing, just beautiful!



When I returned to Paris and had escargot (snails), so tasty.



Over Camden Lock in London


I have had an action packed three weeks while Nick was over visiting. We had a wonderful time in Berlin and for someone who hadn't seen snow before, I think Nick has seen enough to last him for some time. It was so great to see a city covered in so much snow. It snowed the first night we arrived which felt pretty special, considering we live in Queenland and don't get snow. Berlin is definately a city I will be returning to visit, it has so much history and I love the new modern architecture I saw.

At the start of this week we ventured to Paris for a few days and every time I go I fall in love with the city even more. I can't explain how great the French food is, you have to go there to try it for yourself. We tried to taste everything we could and I think Nick is already having withdrawls from not being able to eat the baguettes. We went to see the Bvlgari collection and it completely blew me away. The craftsmanship of the jewellery was like nothing I have ever seen before.

We went and saw 'Priscilla the Musical' in Soho last night and it was a great way to end Nick's overseas adventure. I couldn't stop laughing when Alf Stewart came out on stage in his King Gee work clothes, priceless!

Happy New Year



I hope everyone had fun celebrating the New Year and I wish everyone health and happiness for 2011. Nick and I went to a friends house and had a great time! It is so nice to have a friend from home to celebrate with.

This year will bring many great things and I am looking forward to how it unfolds. xoxo
