    Edinburgh

    Last week I made it to Edinburgh for a December day trip. The Christmas markets were calling me and I just had to check them out. Since it’s only 90 minutes on the train, I made it to the city by 9:30, giving me the entire day to explore. I’m pretty familiar with Edinburgh and…

Built on one hundred small islands in the Adriatic Sea, there are no roads – you enter this interesting world of water buses and…
