Notes from the May - June 2009
Tour of Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia and England
The Lake District - Barrow in Furness, England - May 26 Along the road, beyond Coniston Water, is Tarn Hows, a beautiful mountain area. |
Tarn is a word from ancient nordic invaders that means tear drop. |
What a beautiful day we had - cool and clear |
Miles and miles of rock walls of intricate design. |
Continuing on, past Beatrix Potter land, we came to Windermere and its famous lake, the largest in England. This goose greeted tourists for handouts. |
The lakeside town is called Bowness. |
Peter bought our group ticket for the lake cruise and went on to meet us down south at Lakeside. |
This commercial, scheduled boat goes up and down 11.5 mile long Lake Windermere. |
