Lake District and Isle of Walney

The winter is now gone and the bright summer is here.
Me and Rajitha were ready to rock the summer.

Drove to Leeds and stayed at Anil's house on Wednesday night ( 27th April 2011 ).
It was University time the next morning, went to the Bradford and submitted the project proposal, Jeff is my mentor for the Project and he was a interesting person.
Jeff is a British who is married to a American and was fun to talk to, he listened to the project proposal and gave his approval to continue my work on the Project ( IT-BPO Challenges )

After the university work was complete, we drove down to the Lake district which was really beautiful, we visited a few lakes in the afternoon and evening, spent some good time at Windermere, we went row boating and on a passenger boat for a ride. Row boats were fun and tiring.

Reached Travellodge in Borrow-in-furness, had a Pizza from the nearby Dominos. I had to login to office to do some work, because the Wi-fi was not free in the hotel, I found out that we can connect using the IPhone 3G, once connected did some work and went to bed.

Next day morning ( 29th April) we got to know of a island "Isle of walney" nearby from the hotel staff. The island was just a couple of miles from the hotel and it was a super surprise. The Island was really beautiful,  there were hardly any people there and non commercial. The island was a few miles long and if we walk for 30 mintues, we would reach from the north to the south and if we walk 15 minutes we reach from east to west.  We spent a lot of time playing by the beaches and walking along the coast.



we drove back to the lakes again and spent rest of the day there. It was time to go back home but then we thought why not give Blackpool a visit which was very nearby from here and also it was a bank holiday and we would get bored if we go back home that quickly.

We booked a B&B and drove to blackpool. The next day morning we had fun at the blackpool beach and also the rides at "Pelasure beach".

Went back to the Anil's house ( leeds ) and had a wander around the Leeds city centre and then drove back to Bristol on Sunday night.


It was a unique experience as we had gone out alone for the first time ( without friends) and also most of it was totally unplanned, we just decided which places to go the previous evenings and just had fun.
