Lakes District
Had a big sleep. Was going to do a short walk but when we were about to start the rain came pouring in. Arun and I decided to stay at the hostel while Pete went around Rydal and Grasmere. (Although called the Lakes District, the area only has one "lake" — Brassenthwaite.) We had pumpkin soup and a sandwich for lunch when the weather improved. Took a short walk to Grasmere for some photos. There was snow on the hill-peaks but was not too cold. Peter ...

I dropped off the rental car, proud to have not hit a single curb in this one. Kim and I will pack, so we're ready to catch our flights back home tomorrow ...
A day in the Lakes
We spent the day in Windermere and Grasmere today. Poor Nick had planned an 8 mile hike for us, which was then reduced to a portion of the trail, which was further shortened to a few walks around the towns. We got up way too late for a long hike, and Kim was not feeling well enough for a prolonged walk, due to her gastronomical issues. Grasmere is a nice little village that held great inspiration ...
