    Leaving Malta – Scotland Here We Come ✈️

    September 10, 2019 in Malta ⋅ 🌧 24 °C

    📖 What We've Been Up To:
    The holiday has officially begun! We snapped this photo from the plane window somewhere high above the clouds on our way to Scotland. It’s nearly a 4-hour flight, and we’re buzzing with excitement, this will be our very first time visiting Scotland! Can’t wait to explore, take in the scenery, and make the most of this long-awaited trip. ✨

    The view from the sky never gets old, there’s something calming about being above it all, watching the world shrink below you while thinking about all the adventures to come.

    ✈️ Travel Tip:
    Always download a film or playlist before flying. It makes the time go faster, especially on longer flights — and it's a great way to stay relaxed if turbulence kicks in! 🎧🎬

  • Arrival in Edinburgh

    September 10, 2019 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    We’ve touched down in Edinburgh! After a smooth flight, we’re now waiting for the coach to take us to pick up our hire car. The fresh Scottish air and the buzz of being somewhere new is already setting the tone for an unforgettable trip. It’s that exciting in-between moment, the travel haze is still lingering, but the freedom of the open road is just around the corner. Can’t wait to get going and see what Scotland has in store for us!

    💡 Travel Tip: Always screenshot or save your booking confirmations offline, especially for things like transport or car hire. Airport Wi-Fi can be patchy, and it’s a lifesaver when you’re tired or in a rush!

  • Made It to Premier Inn.

    We’ve arrived at Premier Inn Dundee North, which will be our base for the next few days. It’s a great spot to relax and recharge between adventures while exploring the area. After a full day travelling, the comfy bed is exactly what we needed.

  • On the Road to Edinburgh 🚗🏰

    September 11, 2019 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    We’re on the road from Dundee to Edinburgh — about a two-hour drive through some lovely Scottish countryside. It’s our first proper day of exploring and we’re so excited to finally see the capital. The weather’s been kind so far, and the views out the window are a great start to the day. Can't wait to arrive and start wandering!

    💡 Travel Tip: Always have your sat nav or maps app downloaded offline. Signal can be patchy in places, and it’s one less thing to worry about when you're mid-journey.
