Where to sleep in Edinburgh?

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other

There are many nice bed&breakfasts in Edinburgh and for our stay we picked two:

Barony House
A very good and nicely decorated B&B! They have no problem with late arrivals if you let them know beforehand, there is a bus-stop almost in front of it, there are nice restaurants and pubs close by, the room is very comfortable, the breakfast is terrific (so much choice!) and it isn't expensive either.
And the best thing: you get fresh Scottish cookies and a liqueur in your room every day!

Aonach Mor Guest House
An equally nice B&B with great breakfast options (we have to go back to try them all haha). Also very close to a bus-stop, restaurants and pubs. Just a bit closer to Arthur's Seat which we could see from our attic window :-)

Saint Giles Cathedral





Edinburgh, March 2011, a cosy cathedral :-)

A nice shop to visit in Berlin: Whisky & Cigars

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other

Well the title says it all: this is a shop for whisky and cigars (and cognac and rum too according to the pic).

It's a really cool shop owned by women who like to smoke and drink and play chess. If you want to know more about it just check their site: http://www.whisky-cigars.de/
It is in German so you'll need to able to read that language to really get the idea but the site is still nice.
