When we arrived at our hostel in the lake district we were all in awe. It was set in this small town up on a hill and had an amazing view of the lake in front of us. The area was so charming and it is the perfect weather I was wishing I summered there every year. After hauling our suitcases up a flight of stairs and realizing that there was one outlet for 8 girls, yes one, we headed downstairs for dinner. We decided to make dinner as a group, which turned out to be really fun! We made a giant pot of spaghetti, salad, and bread. It was fun eating all together and hanging out. We were all pretty hammered from the drive there so we ended up eating and heading to bed. The next day we left around 9am and headed to Edinburgh. I wish we could have spent more time in the lake district because it was so beautiful and relaxing but we had to get on the road to start our seven hour journey.
On our way to Edinburgh we stopped at Beatrix Potter's house. It was a quaint little cottage with a very pretty garden. We took a quick tour and then it was back on the road again. The drive through Scotland was of course amazing, well the parts I was conscious for (which wasn't a lot). I have gotten pretty good at finding the perfect sleeping position on the bus and it helps that most of us have our own row of two seats. But let's be honest, I can sleep anywhere. We finally arrived in Edinburgh that night around 8pm. We were so happy checking into the hostel because it was a 5 star hostel and it really showed. It was so clean and better than some of the hotels we have stayed in. Not to mention there were only 6 of us in a room and we had our own bathroom and shower! YAY!
