A day trip in Lake District

Hello to all my lovely readers! Harap semua sihat dan baik-baik sahaja :)

It's been a while since Ain post entri ber-outing dengan family Ain...actually, Ain dengan family pon dah lama tak pergi jalan-jalan. Masing-masing dok sibuk sokmo. huhu.

But weekend yang lepas, we had a trip to the Lake District. Sebenarnya, Sabtu tu kiteorang pergi Liverpool sebab my little sis ada discovery day visit in University of Liverpool, so, dah alang-alang tu pergi terus ke arah north west--in which, Lake District is located at.

The scenery on our right and left through the journey.

The road was like jalan kampung. Sempit dan banyak belok. Truthfully, I was feeling car sick through the whole journey...nak snap gambar dua atas ni pon punya la susah. lol. But the scenery around us memang cantik, subhanaAllah.

First stop: a little village in Rydal.

Sempat la bapak and Aleef main bola kat sini.
My little brother ni asal nampak rumput je nak sepak bola.
Orang suruh pose nak tangkap gambar sekejap je pon complain. haih.

Ibu pulak sibuk nak cari roti. lol. Sebaik stop kat little village ni, ada la mini market.

My pictures are lacking of its real justice.
Korang kena datang sendiri and see it for yourself! :D

Lake District memang sejuk. The temperature drops one degree every 150 meters you ascend.
Kat little village ni pon supposedly tak sejuk sangat (plus, it's spring) but it was quite windy that day.
So, untuk orang yang tak tahan sejuk *ehem*macam Ain*ehem*,
kena la pakai tebal-tebal sikit. huhuu.

Lake District has at least 20 major lakes. Rydal Water ni pon one of the majors but not as large as
Bassenthwaite Lake (lagi panjang and shallow, katanya).

Selfie mesti nak ada. hahaa.

Rasa tak fit in tau pakai kasut boots yang ada heels!

(ye la, orang bukan nak pergi hiking medaki gunung nuuu...nak tangkap gambar je pon). huhuu.

Last stop, Ambleside Pier.

Kat sini boleh beli tiket naik cruise (the shortest journey would take an hour pergi balik). Time kiteorang sampai, it was the last cruise of the day. Ticket booth pon dah nak tutup. huhu.

So yeah, it was a day trip...there were only few places je yang sempat kiteorang singgah. The thing is, dalam family Ain, only me and my dad je yang suka tempat-tempat macam ni. I think I'd get used of the countryside routes...cuma entah kenapa lately ni asyik nak pening kepala. haih.

Anyway so, siapa nak datang England, sila include Lake District dalam schedule ok! Ain janji, korang tak akan kecewa :)
