day 5- Windermere

Wednesday 25/7/07 10.43am

on our way to windermere. Breakfast at YHA was sumptuous. First train just now was old and reminds you of those air plane and train in the 60s. Very vintage. Quite funky actually. Got to change train at another station before we can head st. to windermere. Luggaes are really heavy and my hands are getting blisters.


12.07pm
Changed train at Wigan. Cam-whored abit while waiting. Gonna change again at Lake district station. DAMN. Keep changing. And my blistered hand is giving way soon. 1 finger is already starting to show tiny traces of blood. :(

Virgin train now. The modern one not the vintage train just now haha.


5.44pm
Changed to yet another train at Oxenholme before finally reaching Windermere. The hostel Lake District Backpacker's Lodge was not too shabby. The room is even smaller than Piccadilly though, but at least the bed and comforter is decent.

Due to some cock ups, the 3 rooms booked wasn't booked and only one roomwas booked. So Liz bunked in with my mom and I, while david and eu wen went to check into a budget hotel nearby.

Went for a boat ride at the lake. Good scenery but the wind was way too chilly. The ride was 1/2 an hour per trip. And we just laze our day away. Back at the hostel now. Waiting for dinner.




our tiny room, so tiny that no one have space to even walk around. either sit on the bed or sit like liz on the window sill.
