Goodbye, London
London is a place full of history. It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbye are sad and I 'd rather say hello. We hoped to learn more about our world and to return as changed people someday.
Manchester United
Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Grater Manchester, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. Nicknamed "the Red Devils", the club was founded as Newton Health LYR Football Club in 1878, changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to its current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Gretna Green
Gretna Green is a village in the south of Scotland famous for runaway weddings.
In 1754 , an English law stopped couples under 21 marrying without their parents' permission. But in Scotland it was permitted for girls from the age of 12, and for boys aged 14 or older. Moreover, anyone in Scotland could marry a couple by "declaration."
With such a relaxed arrangement within reach of England it soon led to the inevitable influx of countless thousands of young couples running-away to marry over the border. Gretna Green was the first village in Scotland and conveniently situated on the main route from London into Scotland.

Lake District / Windermere Lake
Lake Windermere is the biggest lake in the Lakes District and it is quite simply a thing of beauty. The Lake Cruise was a great way to hear about the lake and see it from a different view points.
Though its raining all day, the trees and flowers very relaxing :)

take the train to the lake district
The next day, we took the train to the lake district. It rained when we have arrived the train station.
There are many people getting on and off the train. It was a pleasant slow railway ride in a stream driven train into the lake district.
