A little paradise

Hi loves,

it's me again. Sleep won't come tonight so I decided to write about the most special and beautiful place we've been during our stay here at Schotland. A few kilometres outside of Aberdeen you find a litte (not very remarkably) town called Balmedie which lies at the most wonderful beaches I know so far (who would've expected that we would find in the UK)! We arrived at Balmedie Beach in the afternoon so that the light was gorgeous because it was almost sunset. It's not possible to describe it so get ready for lots of pictures:















Good night (hopefully), lovelies!

"Freedom and Whisky go together" (Robert Burns)

Scotland and Whisky is the same as Germany and Beer. No wonder that you can find distilleries everywhere in this country and although I don't like to drink Whisky I visited the Knockdhu Distillery together with the International Society of our University. I must admit that I cannot remember anything they told us (found it very difficult - if you're interested in the process of how to produce Whisky ask google ;)) so that I can only show you the impressions I got on this trip. Have fun!

 


No, that's no Whisky yet.





The distilleries own "guard"-dog :).




See ya, my lovelies!

Isle of Skye III

While the wind is blowing really hard outside I decided to make my last post about our Isle of Skye Trip. On the last day, which was also the day when we went back to Aberdeen, we decided to drive a bit over the island and then go back to the main land to visit Eilean Donan Castle. The weather was slightly better than the other day so that we could take a few more nice pictures of this impressive landscape but see yourself:



Those two pictures above show the view out of the dining room in the hostel - nice, isn't it?



That's a good example for how the people live on the Isle - often very far away from any kind of civilization. But I love the red houses between the trees. 




Made me feel like being in the wild west :)!


That was the last picture of the Isle of Skye. The next ones gonna be at the main land again. It was a nice weekend there, I really enjoyed the landscape, the people and even the rain made it kind of special. 


Eilean Donan Castle






The Secret Chamber - Steffi and I were alowed to enter because one guide let us in :).



Bye, Bye, it was a nice weekend!

See ya, loves!
