Wasdale Head and nearby

The next day we drove on a windy road in the fog to get to Wasdale Head. Anna is holding us in front of Wast Water.


We also went to Muncaster Castle which was nearby. It was pretty cool.


Muncaster Castle has an owl sanctuary, so there were lots of owls. Thankfully they were behind cages so they couldn't try to eat us.

I liked this one because it had really pretty colors.

Down by the lake

After climbing the hill we went down to the lake shore to see the water up close.


I looked hard but I could not find any delicious water bugs swimming around on the lake. Maybe it was too rough for them. Maybe some other platypus had already eaten them.

Heading to Orrest Head

Once we arrived in Windermere we decided to go for a hike since it was good weather. We started up a hill to a place called Orrest Head which had a great view.


We stopped to rest on a bench at the top of Orrest Head and enjoyed the view.


Here we are on the bench again.


Behind us you can see the view we were enjoying of Lake Windermere. It was very pretty.

Off to the Lake District

Dad hired a car and we headed up to the Lake District for a long weekend with Great-aunt Anna.


Dad relied on us for navigation. Strange Panda thought the blue part was the land!


Dad let us drive a bit when we were in a parking lot. It's really hard moving the steering wheel and the pushing the pedals at the same time.


We stopped for lunch along the way. I had a healthy bunch of fruit, but Strange Panda just wanted crisps!

King of the Edinburgh Hill

The city of Edinburgh is actually quite tiny. We were able to play King of the Hill on the main castle hill. I was King of the Hill the longest.

Bill did his best to push me off the hill though.

Around Edinburgh

We spent the day going around Edinburgh. This is part of Holyrood Palace, where the Queen lives when she is in Scotland.


Bill was being silly and kept rolling off the ledge.


Here I am with Edinburgh city behind me. We went hiking up a big cliff.

Touring Scottish Parliament

This is me looking at the nicely coloured outside of the Scottish Parliament.


Here's another picture of me at the Scottish Parliament.

Great-aunt Anna took this photo of Dad taking my picture in front of the parliament building.

Our day as university students

Dad was graduating from the University of Edinburgh so we went up and got to sleep in the student halls for a couple nights.

We had a view of some of the residential campus from our window. It looked nice outside.
