Edinburgh, The Heart Of Midlothian, Why so Mysterious?

Guys, Have you ever heard about the heart of Midlothian?


It's built into the pavement near the West Door of the St. Giles High Kirkin, which is located on the high street section of the Royal mile in Edinburgh. 

Behind the Church you still can see the seperation lines of the Tolbooth (prison), where executions used to take place. The heart marks the doorway to the point of public execution. It is told that it would bring you good luck if you would spit in the middle of the heart.


So, now you know why you saw people spitting on the ground in Edinburgh....  ;)


Need more luck in your life? You know where to go ;)

Happy Easter holiday everyone!

*Berlin with some animality

As you know, I am German. And if you ask Germans about their capital, 99% are excited and state it's the best city ever (or at least in Germany). Well, I cannot confirm that completely.. I've been in Berlin several times, and I saw both exciting and disturbing features^^ I can definitely say it's not my personal city to live in forever. But still, you miss something if you never go there! My Berlin Highlight is the Zoo. It's huge and very natural, not too tourism- like and also pretty cheap. You get a student discount if you show your ID.
Of course, the nightlife in Berlin is almost as animalike as the zoo. Very exciting, very exhausting, very especial.
But like I said, there are tons of people who are entirely in love with this city. Maybe you should go there soon, make your own impressions and tell me that I am completely nuts for not loving Berlin! ;-) xxx Heidi

241 Pizza, Glasgow

A delicious bar/restaurant near the central train station in Glasgow. The pizzas are very good and there are many choice: salmon, cheese, chicken, beef, peppers etc. If you buy two pizzas, you pay only one: very cheap! And ideal during a meal between friends or family! There are a really good atmosphere!

Paisley, De Beers

Haiii...

I was checking out the blog, not many posts about Paisley húh! Weird, as we spend most of the time here "studying" *LOL ;)

One of the pubs I like to go to is called "De Beers", just up the street at the university. They are open from Monday to Thursday & Sunday until 12.00 pm (!!!!...like most of the pubs in Scotland...!!!!) Normally on Friday's and Saturday's until 01.00 pm.  

As they serve many kinds of different beverages, you also can enjoy playing a game of table tennis or watching an e.g. on-screen football game.

*Siesta in Rogoznica

If you're lucky enough to spend a holiday in Rogoznica, Croatia, I can advise you a very cheap but still amazing restaurant: Siesta. I know, it's a weird name for a restaurant in Croatia (especially because the owner is Italian and called Mario^^), but don't bother and go there. It offers student friendly prices and portions, as you can have a giant pizza for twenty Kuna what is approximately 2,50 € . Also, if you go there, have a Scampi Cocktail as starter! It's the best I ever had and cost seven Kuna (app. 1 Euro). It's always fresh and very tasty. The restaurant itself is very nice as the terrace is placed under a vine stock and you're having a view on the 'Marina Frappa', the harbor of Rogoznica with its luxury boats and ships, while having dinner. 
If you go there, send best greetings to Mario from the german rabbit ;) xxx Heidi

Glasgow - Open Mic, for a relaxing evening

If you come to visit Glasgow you should definetely go to a Pub and enjoy some live music for a relaxing chillout night. My favourit so far was an Open Mic at Nice 'N' Sleazy on Mondays. I loved the atmosphere. It is not too crowded and the singers are mostly really talented. You can just chill, enjoy the music, forget about following the Travel Rabbit for a second and let the day end with a beer. :-)

Real traditional Scottish Pub: The Drovers Inn - Loch Lomond

By visiting Loch Lomond, we stopped in a real traditional Scottish Pub: The Drovers Inn.



Located at the very North of Loch Lomond (Inverarnan, North Loch Lomond G83 7DX), on the A82 to Crianlarich, a scene of the movie Cloud Atlas (starring Tom Hanks, Hall Berry and Hugh Grant) has been set.



The Drovers Inn is all decorated with stuffed animals, and a very warm atmosphere. And all the waiters are dressed with a kilt !!

You must try there the famous Haggis and Scotch Broth, but also the Monster and Braveheart Burgers !!

Isle of Skye #6: Mealt Falls and Neist Point

So guys, this is the last post about Isle of Skye.
The last two stops of our trip were the waterfalls called the Mealt Falls and the Neist Point.
The waterfalls are very famous for Skye. Definetely go there because it is near to the Old Man of Storr and not only the waterfalls (which aren't as big as I expected ;-) ) but also the view to the ocean are wonderful.
The Neist Point was a perfect end of the day. Just amazing. Check out the pictures. #Aylin

Rabbit footprints in the sand - Irvine

Never stop moving! xxx Heidi

Snowy Loch Lomond

We are the 25th of March, so spring is just beginning :)
And it snowed a lot this week end, a week before Easter ... How crazy is that !

But instead of complaining, we decided to go to Loch Lomond, taking the chance to have a last look at this place all covered by snow.

And how beautiful was it, freezing but amazing !!

From Balloch to Luss, snowy Loch Lomond worth it :)

*Bahma Mama

When I was in Miami in February 2012, me and a friend made a one day trip to the Bahamas! We took a ferry for 80$, including food, drinks, a sightseeing tour and free cocktails in a Beach Bar. If your have the chance, you can even go for three days. Then you live on a boat comparable to an AIDA, and you visit different islands and have more luxury features on and off board. Unfortunately, this cost 250$ and was not affordable for us poor students. Anyway, it was a very good trip and I am proud to have the Bahamas stamp in my passport ;) xxx Heidi

INCOMING MAIL - Stefan Hols about Vienna.

Hi guys, 

We just received an e-mail from Stefan Hols, who wanted to share his experience in Vienna. If you would like to share your travel experience, Feel More Than Welcome to send it to: travel.rabbits@gmail.com or upload it to one of our Social Media Accounts! =)  Than we will post it on the blog for you! #The Travel Rabbits Team

VIENNA - By Stefan Hols

When going to Vienna, go there for at least one week. The city is one big open air museum and there is a lot to see and do. If you want to visit a Palace, eat some delicious chocolate pie, go shopping, or have dinner at 170 Meters in the air, it’s all possible in Vienna!

Tip 1: Buy a public transport pass you will need it. With this pass you can travel unlimited for 3 days with the really good organised underground in Vienna!  And that’s necessary because the most beautiful palace (schloss schönbrunn) for instance is too far away from the city centre to walk.
Tip 2: The city airport train brings you directly from the airport to the centre of Vienna! So much easier, faster and cheaper than taking a cap or bus.
Tip 3: Almost all churches in Vienna are free to visit, including the beautiful ‘Stephansdom’ in the city centre. It’s worth it!
Tip 4: Eat a ‘Sachertorte’ in the ‘kärntnerstraße’. It’s a delicious and traditional pie! This street is also one of the two large shopping streets with some of the more expensive brands like, Hugo Boss, Swarovski, Rolex, etc. The ‘Mariahilferstrasse’ is the longest shopping street in Vienna (And one of the longest in Europe).
Tip 5: Eat the biggest Schnitzel in Europe in restaurant ‘Figlmüller’. 

Dinner at 170 meters in the air: The ‘Donauturm’ is a must see/visit. The restaurant turns slowly so you can see the entire city from the air.

Schloss Schönbrunn. Don’t forget to visit this beautiful building and see where Princess Sisi lived! The palace also has a beautiful garden with fountains with on top of the hill in that garden, a restaurant with a view on the palace.

Parliament building. One of many beautiful buildings in this area of Vienna across the street of Palace ‘hofburg’ and next to the ‘Neue Rathaus’

Neue Rathaus

‘Hofburg’ Place. You can go in this palace and see all the wealth. Also the ‘spanische hofreitschule’ is located at this palace


I enjoyed my trip to Vienna, I hope you do as well! ;) Travel-Rabbits, Thank you for sharing.

Isle of Skye #5: Old Man of Storr and Elgol

One of the must-do's on Isle of Skye is visiting the Old Man of Storr - not only visiting but climbing up the mountain! It's a rocky hill with an adventures path through a foresty area. I felt like a hobbit on an adventure climbing up there. It takes at least 40 minutes but you will not regret. The view is estonishing. Just take care while climbing up to the rocks. And take some sturdy shoes with you on the trip ;-)





                                     






Elgol is a village on the shores of a Loch in the middle of the highlands. Surprise, surprise: you have wonderful view from there!
