Hey guys just a quickish one.
Edinburgh was amazing, the ghost tour scared the total shit out of me, but it was well worth it. Then yesterday, Darren, Lyndon (the two aussie guys from the back packers), Juels and i hired a car and drove up to Loch Ness (to visit Nessie of course!) and then all around the west coast and central scotland! It was absolutly amazing! We drove through beautiful snow covered mountains and amazing forrests. It was absolutly breathtaking! We played eye-spy and the 'animal game' and all sorts of driving games. An we pretty much just chatted the whole time! It was awesome! in all we drove 400miles yesterday...you work it out in Km's. It was a long day but it was awesome!
Thismorning we dragged ourselves out of bed and began to journey to the picturesque Lake District in Cumbria. We left Edinburgh on an 11am train and headed to Carlisle, and got there at about 12.20. Here's where we encountered our issue! We had no where to stay, we discovered that the youth hostel we were planning on staying at is only open in the summer holidays! Great! So then we had to plan the next bit of our journey, in the cold and freezing rain of course! Just to make things more fun! Eventually we decided that there was a place to stay in Ambleside. So we were off! We caught a train first to a place called Oxen..something, then another train to Windemere, and finally a bus to Ambleside. What cxan i say about this part of England other than WOW! It is absolutly amazing, and soo beautiful! Were staying at a gorgeous backpackers, its really cute and homey and has an amazing view of the mountain range! We are situated on the edge of a lake in a valey surrounded by massive beautiful mountains. Its amazing! Tomorrow were heading up to a place called Ullswater, where i hope to look for an old friend of my parents, Mr Tarry, who was the man who suggested my name to my parents - very personal connection! Then we hope to see the famous Daffodills, there are millions of them. Were talking whole fields of flowers, it must be breathtaking! I cant wait! All i have to do, is find out how the hell to get there! But that comes tomorrow, for now its just rest and peace for me! Then in two days, it's off to Blackpool for some good old fun, drinking and amusement parks!
Hope youre all well! xxx
