Day 3: Hadrian's Wall; Lake District

Was a full day on the bus. We departed (the Tauck director refers to it as"Wheels turning") 8am. It drizzled most of the day, but it wasn't too bad. Our first stop was to tour the Chesters Roman fort. From there we drove to a portion of Hadrian's. The part of the wall we saw was no more than 4 feet high - a far cry from the max height of 10-20 feet it is speculated to be.

The highlight of the day was lunch. We had lunch with a couple at their Manor House. Half of our group dined with the wife and the other half of us dined with the husband. He was very interesting and explained pregenture to us. After lunch we toured the grounds and the gardens around the house. Then we returned to the bus and headed for Grassmere, the home of William Wordsworth. A few of us toured Dove Cottage while the remainder walked through the village and visited the shops.

Then it was onto Langdale Estate hotel to check-in and have dinner.もっと詳しく
