Second free day at Chapel Stile

Since we had soo much adventuring yesterday, Dr. Bob decided to give us a free day to spend as we pleased. Mike, Courtney, and I decided to have one final look at Ambleside before heading to Grasmere on Saturday. It's about a five mile hike, but by day five of our time in the Lake District, a ten mile round trip hike is no big deal. Crazy, right?
We ate lunch in Ambleside at the park that we have become quite familiar with, it was our third visit. Then we went to check out one of the many cafes that line the streets of Ambleside. It was called the Apple Pie Cafe and came highly recommended in the guide book I had picked up before leaving. It was a cute place. Courtney and I both order a gingerbread latte, which was absolutely delicious.




All three of us read for our class that would be happening post dinner. We later ordered some fresh baked items. I chose their apple pie, which they are famous for.




It was delightful. After much reading and some writing, we headed back to the trail that would take us to Elterwater, where Dr. Bob and his wife are staying and where dinner was. By this point, that path is quite familiar to us; it was nice feeling use to an area. We had stew for supper and then returned to Chapel Stile for our class.
Tomorrow is our last day in Chapel Stile. We are planning a hike to the Little Langdale and then we have some work time because some writing is due to Dr. Bob tomorrow. Our plan is to eat dinner at a local pub and then pack. We will move to our new home for two weeks in Grasmere on Saturday.
