Travelog for: Etwas

Today we went to Balloch by train to see Loch Lomond.
I didn't think that we'll arrive so quickly!
It's a beautiful place, loved it a lot! Szandra told me that when last time she was here, it was raining. But now the sun was shining and we could see the distant mountains.





We wanted to go for a boat trip, but we didn't arrive in time...





I met with a lot of ducks. When they saw me, they suddenly started to run to me!


This one was very friendly!!




With the help of this binoculars I saw very far away!


There were some shops and restaurant next to the lake.










I was very happy when I saw that there is also an aquarium!!
I didn't want to miss it!!






This fish looked like a ghost! Don't you think?!

We spent a nice day in Edinburgh.





Hot white chocolate! You have to try it!!


The house of The Scotch Whisky Experience 


The Edinburgh Castle was beautiful, perfect place for ghosts!










Our train back to Glasgow.

A last walk on Buchanan Street. I'll miss it...

I show you the hotel where we stayed.

Brief History
The building was built in the 1870s and was used for many years as a rehabilitation centre for female prisoners from the nearby prison. The Cathedral House Hotel in Glasgow has been the subject of many past ghostly sightings and activity, from the ghost that passes you on the stairway, to the children heard on the top floor. The Cathedral Hotel is situated close to the city centre and overlooks Glasgow Cathedral and the Glasgow Necropolis.

I have to say, I believe the things we read about it on the internet! Sooo spooooky!

Room 6, called "Turret".
It was Szandra's and my room.
At night she slept with television and all the light were switched on! I wasn't afraid, enjoyed that old buliding!









Room 7, called "John Knox".
Last time when Szandra was here, she stayed in that room. This time her parents got it.
This is the spookiest room in the hotel. And supposedly here were the most reported ghost sightings.




I was watching out the window in the morning. We could see the Necropolis from there.



The restaurant where we had breakfast:









The hotel at night:

Since we travelled back home, Szandra had busy days, but finally we decided to see the Christmas market in the Vörösmarty square.
There were lot of people everywhere!!
We went across also the Váci steet, which is very famous among tourists.

At the evening an idea came to our mind! We thought, it would be funny to decorate the Christmas tree! We know, there are still some days until Christmas, but we'll celebrate it in Miskolc, with Szandra's family. There'll be a real, big Christmas tree, but Szandra wanted an own little tree and in that way we could start celebrating a little earlier. 
Me and Louis the Rat enjoyed helping!!

Before...



After...

Merry Chrismas!!!
Hungarians say Boldog Karácsonyt!
We are again in Miskolc to celebrate together with Szandra's parents.

In the morning we helped decorating the huge Christmas tree!




When we finished with decorating, we went to the kitchen to help Szandra's mother. The Christmas dinner menu will be fish soup, fish sticks, fish with mushroom...and a lot more fish! Than, some kind of cakes.



In the evening everybody gave presents each other and the lights on the tree were switched on.







And the dinner is ready!! Usually ghost don't eat a lot, but this time I couldn't stop eating!!




Strawberry wine!! Well...I have to say... Louis drank a little to much!

Today we went to meet with Szabina, Szandra's best friend. We were walking in the city center of Miskolc.
We made some photos also when it was growing dark.

The statue of Miskolci lányok = Girls of Miskolc


The "Szinva" River-Teracce


The locks of lovers.
However we are not lovers but very good friends, so we made there a photo together with Louis the rat to rivet our friendship!




The main street of Miskolc:


The city hall:


And a betlehem which isn't very visible on this photo unfortunately.

Boldog Új Évet!!! Happy New Year!
We spent the New Year's Eve at home, but Szandra's best friend came to celebrate together with us. We had a great time together!
We talked and laughted, and of course we ate a lot!



At midnight we drank champagne!

On the first day of 2009, it was snowing!!! We went out to the garden with Mása, the little pug puppy.


There wasn't very big snow, but everything was beautifully white.

On the 1st of January, it's a tradition to eat lentil.
It gives beauty, health and money for the New Year!
I didn't want to miss all these things, so tasted the lentil soup! Louis was too choosey, but finally he ate too.

Me and Louis found a huge basket with a lot of Spanish sweets! We ate it...ALL!
I'm totally full!!! I don't want more sweets in the future!!!

Szandra decided to paint something and we set down to see how does the picture change.
When she was getting tired, we helped a little.



And the painting is ready!

It's time to visit my next host! I'm very excited!! But I don't tell you where I'm travelling... It's a surprise!

I said good-bye to Szandra and my little friend, Louis!

BOO!

I appeared in Finland, in the middle of snow (I need to brush up my appearing skills, somewhere more dry or warm would be nice)! I skared these three guys  But then I started talking to them and assured I'm a friendly little ghost. Finally we ended up making a snowman together! Snow can be fun too, I know  My new friends are called Alfie Langer (the bear with red scarf), Roo (the kangaroo girl) and Gary Boldie (the bear with green jacket). My new host is called Delenna
