Back again...

Okay, I'll try this again, with my eyes rested! Finally we have a sea day, a time to catch up with rest and thoughts and emails!

After our cruise of the Lake, we ate a typical British lunch at a restaurant overlooking the lake. Not far away was the Beatrix Potter museum and we drove past it, a lovely building. That visit will have to wait for a future tour, but it was so special knowing that I was in the spot where Peter Rabbit and his friends were created! We continued our drive into the hills and arrived in Grassmere.

In Grassmere we visited the gravesite of William Wordsworth in a lovely little cemetary and had famous gingerbread, quite different than anything I've had before, quite gingery! The Lake district was beautiful, as I mentioned, but hot, did I mention that? Oh my, the weather in England, as well as Ireland and Scotland has been quite warm for me! I don't believe the stories people tell of all of the rain and clouds here at all! So in the heat, I rested in a little cafe as the others went walking and enjoyed their rare sunshine.

Time with Peter and Terry flew by and before we knew it, it was time to head home, back to the ship in it's new port in Liverpool. This ship seems to have made the news twice this trip, on it's docking in the new berth in Liverpool and in Belfast, the largest ship to ever dock there.

It was time to adjust to just being one of many in the rest of the ports after our personalized P&T tour of the Lake District of England!
