Edinburgh Girls’ Trip

“It’s that building, the one with Nazi Robbie Williams.”
– Barbro

Birthday present for Barbro this year was taking her to Edinburgh, taking a tour of the Chocolatarium and generally engaging in fried food ’til the point our stomachs decided we didn’t need more meals after breakfast ;-P The weather forecast said 100 % chance of rain the whole time we were there, but we only really saw proper prolonged rain the same day we decided to walk 30 mins to find Barbro’s grandmmother’s childhood home… With our shopping in paper bags… Souvenirs in need of washing after that debacle, but oh well, it’s just water and a little street grime.

– Andreas

Teh Kollektiv [SIC] usually take a trip together once a year for a weekend. We take turns deciding where to go and it’s always the greatest of fun ❤ For obvious reasons we weren’t able to do this last year and we put the trips on hold for a while because of my trip, but when I realized I would be back in Europe for May I contacted La Familia and Andreas got to planning where to go (as it was his turn).

YEAR 1 :: My first year of travel

“Better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times.”
– Asian proverb

February 26th 2018 I had officially been travelling for a whole year. I celebrated the day by checking off a bucket list item: Cu Chi Tunnels. The tunnels the Viet Cong used in their resistance against the US in the Vietnam War. It’s an item that was high up on my list since I started planning this trip so I organized it for this day to appropriately mark the date.
