Budapest

December 1, 2019

I’ve been many, many, many times to Budapest. And every time with different people. It’s a beautiful capital city, with a wonderful night life. And it’s just three hours away from where I live.

Budapest hosts the famous Sziget Festival in the Summer and it has the famous ruin bars. Mostly this is why I’m drawn to it almost every year. If you are not a night owl like me, and prefer a much quieter life, you can enjoy the famous spas and pools and lounge all day long in the Gellért Thermal Baths.

North Berwick, Scotland

November 17, 2019

After Leven and Anstruther (because I was on a beach high), we decided to take one more day out of Edinburgh and see North Berwick. If you don’t know, North Berwick is famous for its Seabird Center and in the summertime the puffins come here to spend time before retreating with all seabird wildlife to the nearest little islands on the North Sea. Those small islands near North Berwick are Bass Rock and Craigleith.

Leven And Anstruther, Scotland

November 12, 2019

There is nothing calming than a wide open beach with no one around for miles. I have found myself slowly drifting into mermaid mode in Scotland. Nothing compares to the North Sea.

Sure, I enjoy a good touristy beach as well, but I get giddy when I see a huge “no man’s land” beach. There is an understated serenity and clarity when walking upon one.

So was our venturing out of Edinburgh: full of awe. Little towns and villages straight out of a fairy tale. Today I shall take you through Leven and Anstruther. Both with amazing beaches.

Edinburgh – The Gothic City

November 3, 2019

Scotland has been on our minds ever since we met. My times living in London had me travelling only to Brighton and one weekend spent in Wales. But nothing prepared us for the amazing sights of Scotland. Today I shall begin with Edinburgh – the Gothic city.

We booked a flight in June from Timisoara to Doncaster and initially we were settled on just seeing the North coastal shore. But Edinburgh seemed so close, so plans changed. And oh, how wonderfully they did.

Edinburgh is better enjoyed in bleak weather. Bleak, rainy and murky. It’s full of magic, a magic best enjoyed if you have a bit of a dark soul in you: feel all the witches around, Harry Potter universe everywhere, get transported back to the Victorian Ages. Old cemeteries can be enjoyed and stumbled upon all through the old town.
