Peace. Bliss. Home

We touched down in Edinburgh on Tuesday. The feel and pull of Scotland remains the same as when I first visited it in 2008 even though I was in Aberdeen at that time. Peace. Bliss. Home.

The hotel we stayed in was lovely. Haymarket Hotel is just 10 minutes from Haymarket Station and walking distance to Princes Street. The bus from the airport stops nearby. Reasonable pricing with breakfast thrown in. We shared the family room (a double bed and a single) which comes with a coffee maker.

Thanks to my aunty and uncle, I had the opportunity to sight see in Edinburgh. We saw the Forth Bridge, Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile and Calton Hill. My favourite is Calton Hill. Enjoyed the panoramic view of the city, the beautiful sunset and the feeling of utter freedom and bliss. The winds were so strong that I was blown off my feet and landed on my butt



We left Edinburgh yesterday to meet my dear friend Marilyn in Coylumbridge which is near to Aviemore. It was great seeing her again and her place is as lovely as I imagined it to be. I am so very appreciate of the unfolding of goodness in my life. To be able to visit all these wonderful places and more importantly, be in the company of good people.



Just outside her home is the River Druie. Peaceful and spectacular view to wake up to and enjoy. The energy here is strong, powerful and beautiful.


I have introduced Scottish food to my uncle and aunty and am glad they have enjoyed it so far. Cullen Skink, haggis, black pudding, fish and chips (UK style), cranachan... we'll look for white pudding tomorrow. :)


When we were walking in Aviemore, we came across a realtor office with pics of homes on offer. The first time when I was in Scotland, I told Marilyn that I would love to have a home here one day. It would be a lovely place to settle in with a partner. And yes, during the cold months, we could travel to sunnier places. :)
