No Way.. downToday was a wonderful day and the seed for this very very harvest day i put just yesterday. I cycled from Edinburgh to North Berwick (+Tantallon Castle), which is a bit more then 38.9 km (I'm so proud about that:) ). Got lost in the fist few minutes of the trip, but when I finally got out from the city, everything was just great! Car drivers were very polite and sometimes even too mush (I mean the ones that whistled or called after. I guess they just miss fit woman on the road (ha ha)), other cyclists greeting and smiling, and pedestrians very kind by helping to figure out where exactly we are. Everyone just seemed to be in their very best Fridey morning mood. And i was not an exception.
On the way fantastic views of the beaches, villages and crop fields. But my destination (well.. it is good, if you are going somewhere, you have one) was Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick. I just got there in time to make it for the last boat trip around the famous Bass Rock (that was stunning). Tonnes of birds, some seals, that made Bass Rock look like an iceberg. This Bass Rock is volcanic rock that have been a prison and as guide said, on it even lived people, but government had to take them off, because they were starving there and stuff (so if u want to make a human colony on some island(small island), u know government will make u to go and live better life on the ground).
Anyway, after enjoying that and North Berwick I went to see one of the greatest fortresses in Scotland- Tantallon Castle. A wonderful half an hour taking lovely pictures of it and just right opposite from it, already mentioned, Bass Rock.
Then returning to The North Berwick, having my dinner at the beach and then making my way back with train (obviously my knees where not ready for such a 38 km torture AGAIN).
When The Sun was setting, it was red and sky like a strawberry milkshake. Nature is beautiful, powerful, full of surprises and changes, going its own way, and we are the part, we ARE the nature. And I love that.
