7-Day Trip in England
Title: Start of Our Trip
Date: May 12th
We got on a plane to London, England. We found out that May was one of the best times to go, so we waited until May. The plane ride was uneventful but once we landed we drove straight to London. While we were there, we saw Big Ben while riding in a double decker bus. After that we saw the St. Paul Cathedral before staying over night in a hotel.
Title: Fishing
Date: May 13th
We woke up at 7 am, and had some breakfast. Keith asked for a biscuit and got a cookie in return. In England, a biscuit is a cookies. McCormick burned himself on the toaster and had to ask for a band-aid. "Don't you mean bandage?" the front desk person answered. So, after I got my "bandage", we went our our way to the English Channel to fish. We rented a boat from a nice, yet perverted fisherman. "You got any nice birds back home?" he asked us. We just looked at each other and then shook our heads. The fisherman turned away and went to get our boat. Just a few fish is what we caught, but since the fish were saltwater, they were very interesting. We fished all day, then drove back to the hotel.
Title: White Cliffs of Dover
Date: May 14th
After sleeping in little bit, we went on our way to the cliffs for a while before moving to some place in Ireland to golfing and see horse racing. Keith won at golf. But, at the horse races we lost some money. According to some British people, we had lost 600 pounds. At the end of the day, we were whacked. We stayed at a really nice, 4 star hotel.
Title: Base Jumping
Date: May 15th
"Good day, mates!" our enthusiastic guide said. We had driven many a mile to a cliff to go base jumping. Our guide strapped us to a parachute and gave us a quick lesson. Soon after we were looking at a 800 foot cliff. It was nippy at the edge. McCormick peed his trousers. Then Keith crapped when we jumped. When we got down Keith bought his first jump suit. So did McCormick.
Title: To Scotland
Date: May 16th
After another night in the awesome hotel, we flew to Scotland see what we could find. Right when we got off the plane, we saw a bunch of guys in skirts playing the bagpipes. We left the air port and headed to Edinburgh where we toured the castle, which was kind of interesting. That took up the whole day so we drove to a new hotel.
Title: Western Isles
Date: May 17th
Today, we took a boat out to the Western Isles. These islands are really remote, yet a very cool thing to see. There were palm trees and the clear blue ocean water. Too bad for us, it started raining about 2 hours after we arrived at the Western Isles. We took the boat to the Mainland, and we stepped into our hotel soaking wet. The front desk guy said, "Guess you should've taken a brolly with you."
Title: Loch Lake
Date: May 18th
For our last day in Europe we traveled to Loch Lake. People say the Loch Ness Monster lives there, but we didn't see it. So, we packed up our stuff and got a the plane. McCormick brought his small comforter for the ride.
"That's a nice continental quilt you got there mate," a flight attendant said.
"What?"
"Oh nevermind. Would you like some bangers?" he said.
"Oh god no. I'll have some sausages, thank you."
