The trip to Scotland, part 3.

This is the final update of my trip in Scotland.
I went to see Edinburgh Zoo. The reason for that was I wanted to see the pandas ^^
Heres the picture of Ediburh monument, you can see it as soon as you enter the city. It is for Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland's greatest novelists * Fact * :D

( I hate monkeys )

Heres few pictures of the last night before returning home. I learned that you should never get drunk day before going back to home :D
skot85 skot78
A lot of great drinks, lots of choice
skot79
Of course we had to take the largest bottle, the Kamikazi!
skot80
*Cheers *
skot81
Then we went to a Japanese restaurant. I ordered sushi and ramen. And sake. Two bottles -.-'
skot82 skot83
In another bar, I ordered a raspberry mojito. Looks damn good!
skot84
.. and here we are, drunk as the Kamikazi!
skot86
You cannot imagine how bad I was feeling next 24 hours. I had to wait at the airport for six hours, before I could enter my first flight. Then I had to wait at Amsterdman my connecting flight. And when I got to back to Helsinki, had to drive three hours back to my home. So, what we learned about this? DO NOT DRINK DAY BEFORE THAT :D ( At the same time all the Finns celebrate Midsummer festival in Finland, and I was all alone at the airport. Damn ! )

The trip to Scotland, part 2.

Greetings!
This is the second update of my trip to Scotland.
One day I went to a town called Linlithgow, and must see sight was Linlithgow Palace. It was sort of Scots kings summer house or something :D ( Mary, Queen of Scots, was born and christened in Linlithgow )

After the palace I ended up going for a beer at the old post office.

When you are traveling alone, it's kind of hard to take pictures of yourself :'D I love that shirt btw.
