Road Trippin Day 5: The Lake District

Driving back through the mountains of Scotland

Today we did the big drive back down to England and decided to stop in at the Lake District for the night. A really gorgeous place, similar to Lake Taupo but with really old slate buildings. It was nice to go somewhere a little cooler this time.  We checked into the hostel there and were told we couldn't use the main house as it was booked out by a school trip. Which was cool as we were pretty buggered from the big drive down anyway. We walked to the village and bought some essentials from the co-op. Bread only cost 54p! So for dinner that night I had lasagne and peanut butter sandwiches again. Not a very eventful night here again, man we sound a bit like Nannas, but we haven't even had any other young people staying in our room, just a 62 year old lady from the states doing a hiking trip around England.

Had an early night, poor Caro is suffering from a cold and I think I may have given it to her as I had it just before we left NZ.
