How To Enjoy Your UK Trip

Ever wondered how to make the most of travelling in the UK? Why not start with the Scotch Whiskey experience in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh!

You get to do this...

Aside from haunted graveyards and ghost tours, there's also the Edinburgh Castle. It’s a massive castle, built on a cliff that was formerly an extinct volcano. If that's not impressive, then I don’t know what is. I stopped for lunch and had a delicacy called Haggis. It's a sheep’s heart, liver and lungs minced up with other things. It sounded terrible but I actually didn’t mind it with some mashed potatoes. Don't forget those men in kilts with bagpipes on fire!

When one is in Ireland, you must visit the Giant's Causeway. It's just outside Belfast in the north. The basalt columns are the result of a volcanic eruption many moons ago. Then there is the Guiness storehouse in Dublin, where you learn how to pour the perfect pint of Guiness. There is also the Jameson distillery where I realized just why Jameson is called the mother’s milk of the Irish. Lastly, the cliffs of Moher. And this? I don't know where this is... Judging by the trousers I'm wearing I'd already had too much Jameson, Guiness and giants in my mother's milk that day.

Last but not least, there is England. I cannot sum up England in one paragraph, but what I did can be said rather easily. I had a chance to see an old church - turned bar in the city of York, the Beatles in Liverpool, Shakespeare's grave outside Birmingham, Roman baths, Stonehenge, and the changing of the gaurds at Windsor Castle.

Look how good we could have been together!

Ladies and gentlmen, please check again at the beginning of September, for there may be some guests coming all the way from the land of snow, hockey, maple syrup and, "EH"?! on the way.
