Lake District - Britain's Kodaikanal

After turning down several invitations to the supposedly pretty Lake District, I finally got a chance to drive through it!  Don't know why, but somehow living in Scotland, has made me a little skeptical about the beauty of England's countryside.  I mean.. can it get better than Scotland? But wait, before you give me dirty glances, I didn't accept those invitations because.. I couldn't!  Either I couldn't take time off work or was travelling somewhere else.  Or people simply changed their minds!  But I finally went.

Not that my trip to Lake District counts as a trip.  It was more of a whirlwind drive-through.  But I've liked what I've seen so far and would be keen to go hill-climbing or camping sometime.  Keep you posted if I get to do it.  And... my opinion about England's countryside!   But.. here's the best part. The city centre there - Ambleside - reminded me of Kodaikanal.  The buildings, the setting, the shops etc. But ofcourse the people were all Caucasian, spoke no Tamil and wore western clothes! Meh...



The fake jumpers! Check it out, none of their feet is off the ground! 

The mandatory PUB

 Pun,pun!  Word play! Amble and Rush! Hee hee!


 Weird camera angle.  Or  is something wrong with that building?
