736. La Coruna in November | Part 2

Finally after months of delay..here is my final post of my November Edinburgh & La Coruna trip! I'm thinking now that I've completed all the "recent" vacation posts maybe I can go back and finish the leftover Asia posts from years ago hahah. I still want to post them all eventually as I don't like having things undone. No matter how long its been. Since the current coronavirus has delayed our travel plans (we were originally planning to visit China in April)..I can now have a bit of time to catch up on travel posts.

Above is the Tower of Hercules, an ancient Roman lighthouse in La Coruna. It's the oldest of its kind still in use today.








Some buildings have really intricate and beautiful detailing.







So bored of me!



I really loved the style of this cafe. It was so cozy. I wish we had similar in Toronto.

735. La Coruna in November | Part 1

This post is pretty overdue. About 3 months late to be exact! Back in November, we went on a trip to Edinburgh and La Coruna. All my Edinburgh posts can be found here.
So after a few days in Edinburgh, we went to La Coruna (my boyfriend's hometown) in Spain for a couple weeks. It was my third visit there. It was more of a relaxing visit. We mainly just visited his friends and family and worked (on our laptops) in coffeeshops. I didn't take that many photos so there will only be two parts to this.

Here are a couple drone shots over the city. This is the city hall/Plaza de Maria Pita.


On the night we flew in, there was a huge storm. Our flight almost got cancelled due to it but in the end, they felt it was safe enough to fly. I was sooo nervous during the landing as it was raining a lot and the winds were apparently close to 100km/hr. I was even frantically Googling how much wind an airplane could handle to land safely lol. The next few days it rained a lot and the winds were still pretty extreme. You can't really tell from this photo but the waves were super high. They blocked off the beach for awhile to prevent people from going and washing away.


We went to a lot of Caffe Vecchios to work. I really like them. I guess they are kind of like our Starbucks here but with better food, cozier and cleaner.


We also went for breakfast every morning at a place called Pandelino. I love their avocado toast and oatmeal!


We stayed at my boyfriend's dad's place this time. He recently got a new kitten. He was really scared of us at first and hid the whole time. Then in the middle of the night I woke up to something attacking my foot and it was him lol. Slowly he got more used to us and even slept on me.










Visiting the aquarium



Lost in translation hahah (weirdly enough this was literally the only English words in the whole place)

729. Edinburgh in November | Dean Village

Dean Village is a charming residential area, a short ~15min walk away from the centre of the city. The Water of Leith runs through it. The whole area is very peaceful and picturesque. It was pretty quiet when we went. Most of the people we saw were tourists, snapping photos at the bridge. The village is quite small so it didn't take us too long to explore. Afterwards we just walked around the city a bit and relaxed.

This is going to be my last Edinburgh post! Next up will be La Coruna.








Our breakfast that morning. We just went into a random cafe that didn't look too promising from the entrance..but the breakfast was so good!! We also got a delicious porridge to share in addition to these, which ended up being a ritual the rest of our breakfasts during the trip (the shared porridge).
