Visiting the Scottish Highlands and Sunny Cambridge

I recently decided to take a tour of the Scottish Highlands. A lot of people had recommended going up there and so I decided to act upon the opportunity. I'm so glad I did because Scotland is absolutely gorgeous, and it was a nice change of scenery from London. As tacky as it might sound, it was seriously like being wrapped in a blanket of natural beauty for five straight days. The tour was amazing and took us all over Scotland, including Stirling, Oban, Inverness, Ullapool, Loch Ness, and my personal favorite, the Isle of Skye!

Hopefully I'll post my own pictures later on, but for now, courtesy of Myles, let me give you a taste of what Scotland is like:

Balnuaran of Clava


Since we had all been to Oxford, Heidi, Kay, and I only felt it was fair to visit Cambridge as well. We lucked out with the weather again as it was just perfect! Similar to what Kay, Mara, and I did in Oxford, we visited several of the colleges and just explored the city. It's an adorable area. We even went punting on the River Cam, which runs right through Cambridge.

With much thanks to Kay and Heidi, here are some photos::
