Ahhh St. Andrews. The funny thing about St. Andrews is
neither of us really knew anything about the town before actually visiting it.
We’d heard great things – that it was stunning – but nothing in specific. We
had no idea it was right on the water, completely forgot Will & Kate met at
the University there, didn’t know anything about the gorgeous Abbey... So to
say that upon arrival we were blown away is a complete understatement. We also
happened to strike major luck with a gorgeous day in March. There was nothing
but blue skies and pleasant 65-degree weather. We were in heaven!
Since we were on a tour that dropped us off for a few hours
we didn’t get as much time to explore as we would’ve liked. We strolled along
the beach, walked on the famous golf course, checked out the University’s
campus and of course visited the Abbey (my camera died right before we got
there!!). We sort of had to rush through everything because we were in a time
crunch and as we were walking along the North Sea with the sun shining in our
eyes and the seagulls singing above us we decided we must, must, must return
one day. It’s a magical place and one that I highly recommend anyone and
everyone adds to their travel list!
