DAY OUT IN SCOTLAND!!!

Yesterday Bex had a day off work and we decided to go for a drive to the old town of St. Andrews about an hour and a half away. So we set off in Bex' cute little VW and went for a drive in the country. Scotland countryside looks a lot like Australia's...only a whole lot greener and many more little dams/craigs or whatever they call them here!!
Above: The famous first golf course at St. Andrews. When we got there we found out about a European tournament going on, so we weren't allowed to take photos because of the media coverage or something. Still managed to sneak in one or two. To me, it kinda looked like any other golf course...still cool though to be on such a famous one that holds so many international events.
Above: the old cathedral that got burnt down and never rebuilt. Still looks cool though. It was mega huge!!

After St Andrews we got back to Bex' flat and cooked fajitas for tea. So yum. Then headed to my first Scottish/English house party at Bex' boyfriend's flat. So much fun and so nice to be able to understand what's going on!! Met some awesome people and had a bit of a dance.
