I am nearing the end of a fantastico Easter holiday break, not going to lie that these last couple of days are going quite slowly as I've realised how much work I have to do...!
My Easter began with a week in Serbia on a Geography fieldtrip. I was surprised when I got there because it wasn't what I imagined at all. Despite being the second poorest country in Europe and common misconceptions, I thought that a large majority of it was beautiful. We were based in Belgrade and focusing on the 'urban planning' of the city. The impact of both the Socialist and Austro-Hungarian periods is evident- with Socialist housing being the main feature of the city. Whether you are euro-railing or wanting to get away, I recommend a trip there- cheap accomodation, beer and a fun nightlife...what more could a student want?!
I then came back home to Scotland where I chilled out, catching up with old friends, before making the short journey over to Belfast for Easter weekend with the cousins. It was so nice to see them and spend time with them...its so difficult now when we are all in different stages of our life! The weather was amazing so we had BBQs outside and played tennis- I even contemplated going swimming in the sea, but soon realised that would have been a big mistake!
