I have a choice. Work ends September 11th (I know), but I don't have to go back to Canada for a week (no one's home).

Now, I was planning a grand adventure to Paris and Brussels, but lately I find I can't be bothered to a)go on my own and b)pay for it. I could, of course, always stay in London that week. Rather boring, really. There is one area of England I haven't really seen and would very much like to, and that is the Lake District. It's been ages since I went hiking and I miss Northumberland. The Lake District is fairly accessible from London and certainly more affordable than a holiday on the Continent.

What do you all think? Some how I've always seen Europe as a place to travel with others, but I'm quite eager to see the UK on my own (peace, relaxation, etc.). I've been meaning to do a hiking trip for ages (nowhere to hike near Leicester really) but haven't had the time. Also, a UK is cheaper really. Yes, I'm trying to talk myself into it. I think 5 days or so in Grasmere would be a lovely break from the hectic mess of London before I have to go back overseas.

I don't know!

Lake District is really pretty. And by September the weather should still be ok (probably better than July, knowing this country) and the worst of the tourists will be gone. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Go to the Lake District and sleep for a week! Remember how much backpacking with all my stuff sucked! SAVE EUROPE FOR WHEN I HAVE MONEY. :)

SAVE EUROPE FOR WHEN I HAVE MONEY. :)

Well yeah, I was kind of hoping that. And Australia and New Zealand. Maybe Asia.

Yes. Though Asia should be last. :)
