We've been challenged by Rejse Guide af Guld to tell you about our Top 5 travel destinations, I am going to start by telling you that picking five of the trips we have done over the years - that's not an easy task, but I will try my best.

There are so many different reasons to why a trip could have easely been the best, but it's not about the trip itself, but about the desination so I have tried to stick to the destinations that have kind stuck with me after visitng and that I would really like to re-visit for some specific reason.

EDINBURGH

Does this come as a chock to anyone?
I love Edinburgh, so out of all the places I have ever visited, Edinburgh wins by a long shot. There's just something special about this place, the vibes, the feelings, the sounds and the greyish color. I'm team Edinburgh all the way!
We have been to Edinburgh during late autumn and mid-summer, so I would love to see the spring or maybe even a New Years celebration. And yes, I would still like to visit Edinburgh during the Beltane festival that have been trying to get to the last couple of years, as you might know, I have had trips booked for that specific weekend twice but both times has been cancelled. Well, I would go back in a heartbeat if I could!

BUDAPEST

It's such a great city with so many different places and buildings to see and visit, I loved walking around in the city and justsoaking in the atmosphere. Even though we saw quite a lot of the buildings when we had our weekend in Budapest due to the boattrip on the river Danube, I would love to go back and explore some more of the classic touristplaces, like the thermal baths. And that would be supercool to do during the winter.

DUBLIN

We spent a New Years weekend in Dublin a fews back with a bunch of our closest friends and I loved the city. But I would really like to see it during a different season, prefrebly during the late spring I think, just to see the city in full bloom and maybe have a pint on an area of outdoor seating. And there's still one thing left for me to do in Dublin, and that's to see the Book of Kells that's located at trinity University. The book is always there, but the one time I come to see it - it's not, so the next time I'll be there the book better bee there to!

RHODES

Yeah, the Greek island Rhodes is one of my favorites for all the obvious reasons, the beach and the great food for sure. But as you are all aware, I am a bit of a history geek and the island of Rhodes gave me so much in that department. I would love to go back and just visit more historical places around the island.

GOTLAND

For a few years in a row we visited the Swedish island Gotland every summer, and it's just a great place to spend your summervacations. I have visited the island during the winter aswell, and it's pretty for sure, but it's nothing like the summers.

I know it's superhard to pick just five, but if you try really hard... what's your Top 5?

You all know that I love Edinburgh right?
If I had not fallen in love with Edinburgh on the very instant we first met, I would have fallen in love with the city during our last trip. There's just no place like this, where I feel this welcoming warmth every time I visit. It's kind of like when you visit an old childhood friend that you have not seen for years, but it clearly does not matter that a long time has gone by, you're still the best of friends.

All the images are taken during our trip to Edinburgh last summer.

But our relationship has not been the easiest to manage, the city has me running around in circles trying my best to make it work. During our short period of friendship, we have been through so much together... The first time we met was fine, clearly, then the hassle began as our second trip was threatened by the big SAS strike that finally got our last trip to Edinburgh during Beltane canceled. We re-booked that trip and made it there during the summer instead - but missed the Beltane festival 2019.

So, of course, we booked another trip to visit Edinburgh during this year Beltane, and you all remember how happy I was when we finally booked our trip for Beltane 2020 right?

Well... as I said, it's not an easy-going relationship... this year's trip to Edinburgh during Beltane was of course threatened as well, and it got canceled, this time by the Coronavirus. It kind of feels like I am not supposed to bee there during the festival... do you ever get the feeling that it is not meant to be? Me and Edinburgh just cant seem to play nice when it comes to this particular festival.

Hopefully, the situation will change for the better soon, I am keeping my fingers crossed, but we are still walking around with that feeling in the back of our heads that keeps saying that most future trips will be canceled... and I know, its for the best - right now, but it still sucks.

Have you ever had a similar experience with canceled trips?
Please let me know in the comment section below, I would love to hear your story.

This is a hard one to miss when you visit Edinburgh, it in the middle of the city. Clear visibility from wherever you go. I think I have hundreds of images of this building, from all different angles. But let me tell you this, this is one beautiful monument and I completely understand the location of it but its not really photogenic. I have been there early morning, late night, in the middle of the day, with and without the sun. Nope, my friends, the monument is not really that photogenic. It's hard to get a good picture of it, and I know it, I have been trying my best.

If you are interested in seeing the monument up close and personal, its located in Princess Street garden, near Edinburgh Waverly Railway station. You can't miss it, it's just above 60 meters tall.

Some of all my attempts to get a good image of the Scott Monument in Edinburgh, Scotland.

You can enter the Scott monument if you want to climb the tower. It's divided into four levels with a total of 287 steps. It's a spiral staircase that gets narrower the higher you climb and the stairs can feel a bit unsteady at times, but it's perfectly safe. And the view from the top is nothing short of amazing, so its well worth the climb.
The price to enter is about 10 euros.

The monument is named after the author Sir Walter Scott. Doesn't ring a bell? He was a novelist, playwriter, historian and poet. Still no? Okay, if I say Lady of the Lake and Ivanhoe, then you know who he is right?

The foundation was laid back in 1840, on the 15th of august, which is both mine and Angelica's birthday. Kind of a fun none-fact to story right? Anyways, it was not completed until 1844 but it was not inaugurated until 1846. Also on the 15th of august.
