Lake district Unleashed

It was 8 o clock in the morning.. Yet noone had still got up from their tired sleep... three of them had had hangover after the previous day's drink.. and the remaining two of us wouldnt just get up.. from the cozy bunk beds.. But things were different after 20 minutes.. everyone was at their feet.. and the room was abuzz with activity.We were all set and ready to leave at 9 30. After a morning tea with blackforest cake and some breads, we begun our journey down the hills of langdale into the beautiful city of Ambleside.It was a small city but a beautiful place....


After speaking to the tourist centre there, we decided to cover the best of the lakes in the district. We had already covered the Windermere Lake. The next was Keswick. After travelling for sometime, we were soon near that beautiful lake.It was truly beautiful and a treat to watch.. It was slightly cloudy and the lake below the valley was picture perfect.


The next spot we went were adventurous all the way.. parked our car below the valley and started walking up.It was a good climb and slightly steep and slippery. I had to literally sit and climb for some part of the trek. And when I couldnt go any further,just stopped there ,took this pic and came back...


All we saw after that was lakes,lakes and more lakes.They say its got around 200 lakes in there but we were just on a 2 day visit to this place.So we saw the maximum number we can. We just saw a few on the way and some of them which forced us out of the car to take a break and then a pic.It was one such location where we had our lunch.


The road back to the hostel was definitely on the list of the most wonderful routes....Clicked some pics here and there and went back to the same Langdale hostel....

DAY 3 isnt going to wait for the next blog.Here it is......

The next day morning we had to immediately vacate the hostel and leave the Lake district to end the wonderful stint in the most scenic location in UK..No, not in the world.1. Because I still have a long way to go to compare with the locations of the world.2.Even if its going to be the best place after going around the world I would still call it second only to our very own Munnar,in god's own country.


The next on our itinerary was Manchester.We went to our collegues' friend's parents' house. They turned out to be very warm hosts serving us with very good home food. After a long chat,tasty food and a short stint at this beautiful house, we bid a grateful farewell to the kind couple. We then headed towards the Manchester United football stadium on the way going around the city and noting important locations like the Manchester University for management, Indian community shops and shopping malls.. By the time we reached the stadium, we had already completed a panaromic tour of the city of Manchester.The streets were all empty thanks to the national holiday for Easter.Since the match that was supposed to have happenned also got cancelled we were also able to go close to the stadium and click some snaps to record this moment and boast ourselves to football crazy fans though none of us were one.

We then begun our next long but scenic journey towards the Matlock where we were slotted to stay overnight and then leave for Sherwood forest next day...Reached matlock late in the evening,went around the hostel and the town and came back to sleep.. In all,it was a quiet day with a lot of travel.

I guess this blog is still goin to go on till Day 4 much to the agony of those waiting for the end for the following reasons..
1.I have some useful( useless?)time in hand.
2. A blog well begun is half done.. A blog which never seems to begin is better if its done.
3.The tour is more than a month old now.
4.When do I start writing about the current affairs,Himesh Reshmaiyya, review da vince code.. etc.if i keep on drooling over a flash back which now almost deserves a place in my other blog which is a walk down the memory lane..
5.Day 4 is a one-sentence blog which goes something like.....We then went to Sherwood forest to meet Robin Hood's Tree(Wat the?) which would ve been worth the say if we meet Robin Hood, or atleast Robin Singh but what can i write about a 500 year old( thats what they said.. but whats the big difference.. it was on crutches and looked like dead wood...) tree which was more like the adayar aalamaram handicapped.(easier said than done.. whew!!a one sentence explanation is much tougher than the blah blah narration)..

The End( of just the trip..the blog will still continue.....unfortunately)!!
If you are still not tired of seeing the pictures...Here is more..
