Well, we made it…

We are here in St. Bees tired but happy that our travels are over. It was not the worst travel day (just over 24 hours) I have ever had, not even close in fact, but it was not without its challenges. We made all the connections until we arrived in Edinburgh and found out that the trains to Carlisle were all cancelled. The overhead power lines had come down somewhere along the line and they told us it would be at least late afternoon before the trains were running again. That would have meant we would miss the train to St. Bees from Carlisle, so we went to plan B - we took a bus. It was a long three and a half hour bus ride, it was a local and stopped it seemed every other mile! The length was offset by the beauty of the area.

We had a nice pub dinner. I had a Guinness for the first time in quite awhile, then we walked out to the St. Bees Head to see the Irish Sea. We came back from our walk and split a Laphroaig whiskey. I will keep this short, I am ready to turn out the lights and get some rest.

There were not many opportunities to make images on our travels, but what I did make you can find here:
