Day 3

Hi guys, here we are finally with day 3 of the trip, things might start to be explained a little quicker now that i have some catching up to do and less time to do it in!

Ok...day 3 begins by saying goodbye to Edinburgh and Scotland. Just before crossing the border we stopped off at Gretna Green which is a historical romantic getaway were people could elope and get married. Cameron and Tracey were randomly selected from the crowd and quickly married by the hammer and anvil.

Back in England the next leg was driving through the Lake District. Very nice scenery with waterfalls, mountain views, plenty of lakes, interesting wildlife, some crazy roads and a chance to do some climbing.

Here's me and a couple of the girls from Coffs Harbour in front of one of the waterfalls.
(just told a joke, funny of course)

On the way out of the lake district we stopped off at the home of Beatrix Potter and went into the exhibition of Peter rabbit and all her other tales...this picture is for you mother dear!


I don't know which tale this is from but i'm fairly sure you will!

After our stopoff we headed to Liverpool, had a look at the Cavern Club the original playing venue of the beatles which is also the home of the mersey beat. We had a quick squizzy at the Liverpool football stadium, one of the UKs' most famous.

The night in Liverpool was spent wandering around down to the river and all over checking out the sights, not, surprisingly at the pubs and clubs.
