Jess and I are running away to Europe.. but we will be back in 6 months so don't miss us too much.
As mature adults we are more than capable of budgeting and planning accommodation for the whole trip, however, we decided to wing it and go without much of a plan. Why? we will never know! But with Hamish and Andy as our role models how can we possibly go wrong?
We hope you enjoy seeing the pictures that we post, reading about the crazy adventures we have and snickering at our misfortunes that we will encounter along the way. It is a big step in our lives and a journey that will help us discover the true meaning of being independent. Don't worry about us too much though, I am confident that Jess will be able to take great care of us both.

Arriving in Edinbrrrrrrrr

This morning we finished packing and said our final goodbyes to Duchray Castle.

Francis drove us down the dirt road towards Aberfoyle for the last time and dropped us at the bus stop. We were very sad to say goodbye but she told us to keep in contact and tell her about all the shenanigans we get up to in Edinburgh. She was very jealous.

We caught a bus
and then another bus
And found ourselves in Edinburgh! (Very cold and very windy...)


Yaaaay!! It is such a sweet place! 

We booked into Castle Rock Hostel and then spent the afternoon trying find our way around the streets of Edinburgh. 


We also got hailed on today. However, the hail here was more like small frozen tear drops tapping you on the head as opposed to massive boulders smashing you in the face. Which was a nice change to back home. 

This is Jessica standing in front of some pretty lights sticking out of the grass. Hehe..


Tonight's dinner was very, very fancy as we graced the local McDonald's with our presence. 
This is Jess' 'don't take a photo of me face.' Haha she is going to hate me. If she asks, I didn't put these photos up. 

We are so happy to be travelling again and are excited to start the next leg of our adventure! 

Missing you all so very much! Xxxx

Ps: Tomorrow is going to be a busy day so get keen for the next update!!

  2. Oooh, Edinburgh - if you think you might need your grandmother as a chaperone just let me know and I will hop on my broomstick - it is a wonderful place. Look forward to more updates soon. As Mum said, get a job and plan more adventures. You are both in our prayers always. Have fun, work hard, save money :)))) for the rest of your trip. Enjoy that wonderful city. Stay safe, and remember there is always a willing chaperone only a broomstick ride away. Love to you both. Grandmaa xoxo
