This spring break we decided to do something out of the ordinary and travel somewhere other than Iowa. We happened to find very inexpensive flights direct from Chicago to some destinations in Europe and my caveat was that it had to be some place we have never been. Scotland was a country we both have wanted to visit! We flew into Heathrow and took a train from Kings Cross Station to Edinburgh which took about 4 hours. It took us by some very scenic areas in Northern England and by the coastal cities of Tweed and Newcastle. We decided to splurge for first class and so we had some very nice comfy seats, meals, drinks and snacks on our trip.
We had to stop at Platform 9 3/4 for a photo op!
Our train was delayed for a bit and the girls look super enthused.
We finally arrived in Edinburgh at 7:30 and took a taxi to our apartment at the Knights Residence.
It was a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment and very well equipped. They had even placed milk and juice in the fridge, had a loaf of bread on the counter and a basketful of snacks and cereals for breakfast tomorrow! It was SO nice.
