Lake District - Day 1

I followed Brian's new BMW while Dan & MF followed Eric's car. This made the car equally 4 person per car.
We took a winding road there, man its winding. But the view's great.

We arrived at Kendal at 1.30pm for the toilets... haha.. Actually we were supposed to visit some places of interest there but the hotel ppl told us basically there is nothing there...so we set off for Windermere.

We arrived there about 2.30pm. First thing to do - Tourist Info Center.
I just step foot there & started spending... GAGA... Bought a few crystal. Lake District is obviously a place with lots of LAKES. So there have LOTs of mineral stones etc. Bought 2 citrine, 1 rose quartz & 1 Quartz.

Our next stop was our B&B. Joe was a super nice friendly guy [as usual i guess].
The rooms were super comfy & coasy. After leaving the bags we drove to Ambleside.
Its a place where everyone gather there to feed the swams, ducks & birds.


Man the look elegant dudes NIP really HARD. We bought duckling foods to feed the big & small fellas.. hehe..
I was really scared of the swans but still wanna feed them... haha...



Everyone took their dog out. Alot of people & I mean A LOT of ppl took their dogs to the lake side. Compared to Newcastle, the dogs are more kept at home rather than going out.
Well, i took a photo with a bull dog. Man taht dog is so cute ^^



After the feeding & photo session we drove down to Lakeside where we visited the Aquarium & Steam Train. As we reached there quite late, we missed the last train ><''//. But luckily we still manage to get into the Aquarium.
Each person had to pay £6.95 [ouch].

And frankly speaking there's NOTHING inside. And I mean NOTHING compared to Singapore's Underwater World. Haih...

I met this cute dogggie at the Aquarium.. haha.. Old English Sheepdog... Thats the breed that i always wanted to TOUCH... MAN ITS SOOO CUTE^^



At that very moment, a ship or ferrie carrying lots of grandly dress people. Guess what, there's a wedding on, and how romantic is that to have the dinner by the lake side & how rich is that to BOOK the WHOLE SHIP for a bunch of fellas.



We left Lakeside at 6.30-7.00pm, then drove back to Windermere for dinner.
We had quite some trouble choosing what to eat. We ended up having Thai food. It seems taht we often hav Thai food huh... weird...
The food was FANTASTIC. It was cooked by TRUE THAI, the portion was 'huge' too... haha...
For 8 people we ate £130 ><''// [ouch again]. 1k for thai food... lei hmm hui cheong...
After settling the bill we [Me, Dan, MF] ended up paying only £40, which wasnt too bad [if dont convert.. haha].
During dinner time was soooo funny... everyone kept on ordering steam rice.
The waitress was basically BUSY with Steam rice orders... haha...
At the end we had 12 steam rice for 8 people.

After makan, the guys went buying beer for the night.
It didnt go as plan, not excatly as plan cause the minute everyone got into their bed, everyone SLEPT like DEAD PEOPLE.
Everyone;s just tired frm the long journey & the heat.
Ohyah i forgotten to mention bout the HEAT. I had headache when I got back to the B&B.

Most of us slept at 9.30pm then woke up at 11.30pm then play chor dai di then the guys had beer while i read my newly bought magazines...
At 2.30am only we all go to bed.
