UK Day 7 Move to Windermere – Five hours driving

Time flies by! One year is passed after we visited UK in 2011.

2011-7-5 Tuesday

The sunshine disappears today. The B& B owner tell us that it will be a rainy day. She says that we are so lucky to have sunshine in the past five days in Scotland. It is hardly to have so many wonderful sunny days here.

After packing our luggage and leave B&B, we soon reach Glencoe. The sky becomes dark and start to rain. Magnificent scenery becomes a little gloomy.

2011-7-4 Monday

Originally, we planned to find time doing laundry in the restroom of B & B. However, the B& B had lots of policies to follow and the restroom was so tiny.  Today became the laundry day.

2011-7-3 Sunday

We slept well and woke up at around 8:30 in the morning. We went downstairs to eat breakfast. The lady, owner of B& B, took us to the seat of window side. The sun was shining outside with great view. We felt warm and comfortable when we sat at table.
