Day 3: York -> Carlisle via Lakes District

Then it was time to travel through what I consider the most picturesque part of England; the Lake District. It was probably the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The entire landscape looks like a postcard!


Throughout this area, there are numerous lakes (hence the name). We visited one very famous lake and it's little town. Lake Windemere. Well known for it's beautiful views, but probably better known for one of its residents: Beatrix Potter. 

Once we got there, Jordan and I headed straight for the World of Beatrix Potter attraction so we could meet all of her little animal friends! Now it was geared a bit more towards children, but we thouroughly enjoyed ourselves. 






After our little adventures with Peter Rabbit, we relaxed by the lake with some lunch and ice cream. It was beautiful. And we made quite a few feathered friends!




We then hoped back on the coach and traveled to an activities center out in the midst of the rolling green hills. Here we were able to choose an activity to do for a few hours. Jordan did the ropes course (duh!) and I did archery! It was a blast!




Then we continued on to Carlisle. A small  city where our hotel was located. Once we had all checked in to the hotel and gotten dinner, we went to an Australian bar called the Walkabout to have drinks and watch the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina. (Wohoo Germany won!)  After the game, we moved our group to a great karaoke bar, run by a transvestite, called Outrageous! It was a gloriously good time and the perfect end to a long day!
