Hello Jacque,
It’s Sunday about 1:00 pm. I slept late in order to recuperate from touring the Lake District and flight home.
Bottom line – the trip was fantastic. Our tour guide was unbelievably knowledgeable, a great driver, super personable, I can not imagine a better tour guide. The agenda/schedule was packed full, but not so much we did not have sufficient time at each location. The number of stops each day was on target. The locations we visited were all exciting. Hadrian’s wall was perhaps my personal favorite – the day we visited, it was cold, rainy and windy, I found it perfect, I could imagine how it was for roman legionnaires almost two millennia preceding me. I found the visit glorious. Whitby Abbey, Lindisfarne, Fountains Abbey, Castlerigg Stone Circle were all great. I loved it all.
Oh yes, the hotels were all luxurious and the breakfasts were always wonderful – eggs, croissants, fruit, yogurt, etc. You did a great job designing the trip. Will definitely plan on more future trips. Best regards, Joel
