2. 12-day itinerary
12 days holiday, 13,000 RMB, where can I go? How can it be played? My answer is, I want to go to the British Isles where the sun never sets. Starting from London at the southern end, we go north to Cambridge, where we pay homage to the University of Cambridge, the highest university in the UK, and go fishing on the Cam River; then we stop in York, where we review the history of England in the medieval style; and then we go all the way north to arrive at Men Wearing Plaid Shorts Skirt Scotland, appreciate the symbol of Scottish spirit amidst the salute of Edinburgh Castle, and then enter the interior of the Scottish Highlands through the endless mountains and lakes and canyons; after resting in Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, head south to the beautiful Lake District to see the hills, water and swans. Finally back to London to enjoy the craziness of discount season.
Day 1:
Take the Polish Airlines flight Beijing-Warsaw-London
Exit customs at London Heathrow Airport
Take the subway , arrived in London, UK
I gathered with my classmates at a Turkish restaurant in Wimbledon. The townhouse on the outskirts of London is so handsome. When will I be able to have a garage in front and a garden in the back?

Beijing and the UK are more than 108,000 miles apart, with a time difference of 7 hours. Our flight leaves in the morning and lands in the evening local time, so we prepare in advance, synchronize the time on the plane with London, and work according to London time.
After arriving at the local area and having a good night's rest, the jet lag will not be a problem the next day, and you can jump up and down energetically in the following days.
At the airport immigration, we are the last group of passengers to clear customs today. The handsome guy looks like a tired version of his favorite British actor James McAvoy. The chief asked us what we were doing here? How to afford travel? And where to play? Due to the long flight and jet lag, my brain could hardly move at that time, so I answered mechanically: go cambrdge and york tomorrow and then go upstairs to edingurgh then downstairs to lake district. Handsome guy laughing, upstairs? i think lake district is much more higher and u should go upstairs then. funny officers and funny girls. Sanniu stupidly entered the customs smoothly.

p>Hiking on the hilltop in the Lake District
In the Lake District, hiking from Hawkshead to hilltop is not a classic hiking route. Hiking for an hour on the road is quite dangerous, but it is full of beautiful memories. .
Beyond the stone fence on the roadside, there are green pastures and British black-faced goats. The sheep are either grazing with their heads down or lying lazily in the grass.
We stopped in front of the beautiful scenery to take pictures. A British couple strode forward with their dog on the road.
A few people in Hawkshead heard that we were going to hike to the hilltop and reminded us to by walk couples of miles. But when we actually started walking, we reached the Patrix Gallery ticket office on the top of the hill in an hour of stopping.
In fact, you don’t have to walk. You can also take the 525 to get to the hilltop all the way to the ferry stop.
I regret not buying an explore ride to go further. The further away, the fewer people there are, and the scenery may be roughly the same, but I overcome my own little desires and tell myself that I can actually go further.
