Break For The City

Today me and the guy are setting off for the big city! Our capital city: Edinburgh. My Greek boyfriend has been living in Scotland on and off for nearly a year and a half and I have not taken him there yet. Shame on me! So, we booked some last minute tickets in a dirt-cheap hotel, which kind of resembles student accommodation - but got 4 stars on Trip Advisor, so can't be all bad! We aren't too fussed because we won't be spending too much time in the room anyway. There will be too many exciting things to see and do!

Booking a room the night before for a spontaneous trip really is brilliant. The night before last we were sitting up in bed discussing that our life was a little dull and that we didn't do enough during our time off. I get in these ruts sometimes and the best thing is to get up, shake it off and do something about it. Last time we did something like this we had such a fantastic weekend!

I also hope to meet up with my best friend for coffee or drinks, and catch up on some gossip. She is studying in the city so it will be nice to have a local to potentially show us some hidden gems. It is horrendous the amount of times we actually get to see each other during the year... 2012 will hopefully be different.


Any surprise weekends you guys have been on recently?

Have fun!! I love last minute trips. I haven't been on any weekend trips lately because of my school/work/rehearsal schedule, but hopefully come spring my time will free up a bit :)
