My parent's visit to England and Scotland!

I had such a wonderful time when my parents came you visit! I wish they were still here.. miss you guys!! When they first arrived, we spent some time in Camberley and at the pubs and restaurants around here. Then on their first Saturday, we went to a West Ham game!! We took the train into London early in the morning and had a wonderful lunch outside looking at the Tower Bridge! The weather was fabulous. We really enjoyed the game, even though they lost :( It was so neat to be back there again and my parents really enjoyed it. After a pub dinner, we headed back to Camberley as we were all exhausted!

My last week of school was good and I was ready for a break!! The weekend before we went to Scotland, we went to Guildford, the capital of Surrey. Guildford was really nice and we went skating which felt so nice. I was getting sick so I was excited to go to bed after a quick trip to urgent care. The next morning we set out on the train to Edinburgh! This was such an amazing city!!! The first night we wandered around The Royal Mile and went for a really great dinner. I had an early night as I was feeling sick. The next day we went to Edinburgh castle which was so amazing. The views were wonderful and I learned a lot. We then did some shopping, obviously stopping at Cath Kidston! At night, my dad and I went on a vault tour, the underground passages of Edinburgh. They told us ghost stories and it was really neat but really dark!! I really enjoyed Edinburgh and it was one of my favourite cities I have been too.

So beautiful

Then we went to rent our car to head up to Inverness. The drive was so pretty and so were the stops we made! We stopped on the way at Blair Castle , Aviemore for a hike and we also took this really scary train all the way up a mountain at Cairngorm! It wasn't as scary going down as it was going up. The views were breathtaking and I am so glad I got to see the highlands!! We arrived into Inverness at out hotel and after dinner we went to sleep! Another great day.

Then on my final day in Scotland, we went to see Loch Ness which was really eerie but so beautiful!! We went to another castle called Urquhart Castle. Then we drove to this little town on the ocean and walked along the beach. Scotland was so pretty. It was quite chilly and rainy there though. We had an amazing dinner, walked through Inverness and then it was time to call it a night as I had an 8 am train back to London (8 hours)!

My parents spent a few more days in Scotland and I was back home writing reports and planning for the week! It was such a nice visit and I was sad they had to leave and go back home!!!

Now I am in my last term of teaching and just finishing writing reports. We have our summer fair next week and then I go to Poland, so it will be a busy month!
