Motor Boat sailing in Lake Windermere

We parked the car in Car park of Lake Windermere Boat hiring centre. Plan was to do some sailing in the Windermere lake. We put on life saver jackets and headed towards the boat. To our surprise there was no one to drive the boat. We had to sail the boat across the lake. Shooo!!! That was quiet an activity. Both I and Abhi were scared initially. When to boat started, I was so scared that I was not ready to move at all. However after a while both of us were comfortable and we were all set to sail the boat. I tried my luck on the radar near the shores of the lake. Time was ticking and we had to soon reach the centre to return the boat. Abhi decided to cross the deep waters of Windermere and took the drivers seat. Hmmm….it was quiet a scary experience. But it did encourage us to take few more boat rides in Norwich Broads in near future.

Indian Chai session on Lake Windermere Banks

After hour full of adventurous sailing we decided to have tea and biscuits in the nature, sitting on shores of lake Windermere. It was fun and we took some cool snaps.
We had to spend an hour at the tourist centre to find bed and breakfast. After a long search we found on in Kendal. It was almost noon and we decided to have lunch in the COOP restaurant behind the Tourist information centre.

Walk along shores of Windermere

Lady at the Lake district information desk suggested us to walk around the Lake Windermere. However we had bad time finding parking space near Lake Windermere and wasted 1 hour in that activity. We decided to move on and drove along the lake side heading in the south direction. We halted at couple of spots and took some pictures. There was tourist destination place on hill top next to Lake and we decided to park our car and wander around. We climbed down the hill and explored the shores of the lake. After an hour we came back and decided to continue our drive. On our way we spotted directions to South Lakes Wild Park and made it our next destination.
