Edinburgh: days 1 & 2

I am so excited to write this post because last week was the best. Luke and I took a four day trip to my favourite city, Edinburgh, for a short, relaxing city break. It was perfect.

We arrived mid afternoon on Monday and went for a wander, exploring George's Street, Princes Street and finished with a drink on Rose Street, before heading back to our flat for a super yummy Chinese takeaway (I mentioned the Chinese restaurant that we love here, if you're interested).

I'm not a huge fan of flying, so a chilled night in after our journey was exactly what I needed.

On Tuesday we met up with two of our friends for a bit of a double date day out, starting at the National Museum and then heading up the Royal Mile to Camera Obscura.

The Museum was great fun, really interactive and interesting - I was so amazed at the amount of different displays that there was to see!

It's free entry too, so perfect for a group of four students.

After the museum we headed to an optical illusions museum, which Luke and I have visited before. Camera Obscura is one of those places that you can visit again and again and always have a great time, the different illusions are incredible!

If you are looking for something different to do in Edinburgh, I would definitely recommend Camera Obscura, it's the perfect place to spend a few hours - we all loved it!

After our day out, Luke and I headed to our favourite tapas bar (also mentioned here) for dinner. The food was incredible; we shared six dishes between us and finished off with the yummiest desserts, my white chocolate and caramel cheesecake was to-die-for.
