This isn't Cambridge anymore

Last Saturday was the start of a one-week vacation for our school, so we decided to go to the Lake District, "the most beautiful corner of the country". And it certainly was. Our schedule was usually as follows: have breakfast at the B&B, which was bacon, egg, sausage, tomato, baked beans and mushrooms (YUM!), have a hike in the morning, have lunch, have a hike in the afternoon, and collapse on your bed (or cot, if you happened to be me) and you would instantly become just as good as any old guy knocked out cold. Here are some Lake District pics:

Eagle eye: A view of the town we were staying in, which was called Ambleside

Winging it: An interesting bird we found in Beatrix Potter's garden, thought to be a robin

Falling water: This was the first time we saw this waterfall, yet the second time we took this hike

Heading downhill: The last hike of the week was with my sister's friend (left), who has a house in the Lake District. This shows her talking with my visiting grandmother.

Here, the food was exceptionally decent, the hikes were spectacular, and the views were just indescribable, but Ambleside was just a bit too crowded. Most people seemed to be families with kids, which was not so in other crowded places. Turns out that all of the schools in England, every single one, they all have the same vacation times as the other schools. A lot of those families must have wanted to go to the Lake District, because at our first night, all the restaraunts were jammed and we just squeezed in at a place called Lucy4, which had a very cheesy menu. Some of the sections of the menu were called Carni-four and Herbi-four. (get it?)
My grandmother was confused about Carni-four because she thought that you could chose 4 things from that section, but it was really just a pun for carnivore. Anyway, we reserved for another restaurant so we wouldn't be stuck at Lucy4 again. Surprisingly, we did not see too many other hikers on the trails, so that was nice. Hope we get to visit Lake District again!
