After I went to Rockness Music Festival last weekend I swore I'd log on and write a long entry about what I've been up to in Scotland....but obviously I haven't. My reasoning was that I would rather take the evenings I have free to post photos, as I know more people are looking at them rather than reading this...kind of foolish reasoning I know, but I also don't want to have to go home to NL and have to upload 3000 photos (I've already taken about 2000, and I haven't been to Liverpool yet!).
I'll summarize my stay in Scotland:
- I don't want to leave.
- Rockness was the best, most exhausting weekend of my life.
- Since arriving here I have visited Edinburgh Castle, Scottish Parliament, Scotland's Secret Bunker, Falkland Palace, St. Andrews, Anstruther Fish n Chips (the "Best in Britain"-they've won the award several years running), Dundee and Glenrothes (for shopping), Loch Ness and Inverness, Peebles village....there's probably more and I can't think.
- Edinburgh is probably the most beautiful city I've ever visited, and the people are nice to boot.
- Shopping here is great...I know everyone says it's so expensive in the UK (and it can be), but because of finding Christian Louboutin Dillian Flower Pump lookalikes for 18 pounds (as opposed to 2800), I am ecstatic. If you heard me talking about these shoes for the past few months (Karen O wore them in Spin), you'll understand how important this is to me. I tried to replicate them with my graduation shoes, but it just wasn't the same... I've bought about five dresses since I arrived here and I don't think I've paid more than 15 pounds for any of them. I love that this place is about six months ahead of Canada in terms of fashion, I can buy something on the sale/clearance racks and still be ahead when I go home, haha. Neon has become HUGE here, I bought a pair of neon pink jelly gladiators, which are hilarious, awesome, and comfortable. I've wanted jelly shoes since I was a little girl, but couldn't find ones that fit my alien feet/were comfy. I can't even list the rest of the stuff I've bought, but I have to pack tonight and am semi-dreading it.
- I'm going to need a vacation to recover from this vacation. Or at least a drunken, bbq-fueled Canada Day (the day I return:). Katie Jackson, do you hear me? hahaha
