Honeymoon! (Toto Saba)

Like I mentioned before, day 16 of our honeymoon will find us in Edinburgh! In the morning we'll have a sightseeing tour with a local guide, during which we will most definitely be passing the castle!


Here's another view, which shows how high up on a hill the castle is:


The afternoon and evening will be left to us to make our own plans. We'll definitely be indulging in some of the local culture, which may include entertainment such as this:


As for the rest of the evening, who knows what trouble we'll get into! ;)

Day 17 will begin with a trip to Jedburgh, which is where Mary, Queen of Scots lived. Jedburgh is only a few miles from the English border, and is also the location of the ruins of an abbey.


After that, we'll head to Northumberland National Park, where we'll get to see part of Hadrian's Wall (this is part of a wall built during the Roman Empire, if you didn't already know that)! Two decades ago, it was designated one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, which is kind of a big deal. :)

Finally, day 17 will conclude with a tour in York, which will include this beauty:


Day 18 is the second-to-last day of our honeymoon! It will begin with Sherwood Forest, which I'm pretty excited about! I absolutely LOVE everything having to do with the Robin Hood legend! I've seen the Kevin Costner film, the Disney version with the foxes, and, of course, Men in Tights (my favorite version!). Anyway, hopefully the leaves will already be turning since it will be October 12, and maybe it will look something like this:

Next up will be a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon which you might know as the birthplace of Shakespeare. What a place to visit on a honeymoon! While I do love Shakespeare and all, I'm also excited to see the architecture in the town!


Finally, day 18 will end in Coventry, which is the site of a beautiful cathedral:


The last full day of our honeymoon will consist of a drive through Cotswold Hills and a visit to the site of Churchill's grave. Then we'll take a walking tour of Oxford, which is something I've been wanting to do for a very long time!


After the Oxford tour, we'll return to London once more for a final glimpse of the beautiful city! If we're not completely pooped, we'll probably hit the town once more before going to bed. The next morning we'll wake up and get on a plane headed for Atlanta.

That's the last of my honeymoon posts...I hope you've enjoyed them! :)
