day 5 of touring, lake district

The Lake District in England, just like North Wales, is a gorgeous place. This was another relaxing day. We began at the former house of poet William Wordsworth, then drove into the town of Grasmere where we spent the afternoon looking around the town, shopping, and of course, photographing. That night, at a hotel in Scotland, our tour group played a huge, intense game of capture the flag. At first, I really didn't want to play, but our tour guide convinced us to play just one game. I ended up getting really into the game, and lasted quite a while, to my surprise. I sure slept well that night, despite the fact that our hotel was supposably haunted.

too bad the streets of Rochester don't look like those in Grasmere
