Loch Earn- Camping for Sailing

Our weekend at Loch Earn

Loch Earn

Now I am already 1 month away from home. How the time rushes! I am happy to make all these experiences. We went camping to "Loch Earn" which is a lake. In Scotland one calls a lake a "loch". The English people have difficulties to pronunce that word, but for Scotish people and German it is easy. The kids sailed and therefore we camped all together there. I must admit: This was my first real camping experience. Since then I only camped at festivals like "Rock am Ring". The proper camping is more luxurious than our party-camping. I had a thick, comfy blowing-up matress and also a cushion(!). We had warm showers with seperate cabins and we had enough electricity. That was really good.

My host family are camping-experts so they bought everything we need for cooking, drinking, etc. At our first day it was so windy. We managed to build our tents up and as soon as we were inside it started to rain! What a luck! The first night was really cold but the next ones were better. On their first training-day it was so windy, that the kids weren't allowed to go sailing. That was a pitty because they were really excited to practice. And the parents had paid for it. The second day was windy as well, but they were allowed to go sailing for 1 hour. The parents were really patient and waited for the whole day. Helen's friend has got a chalet near Loch Earn with a beautiful view on the lake. It was raining but still beautiful.

first day- look out of the chalet

She invited us for a cup of tea. Helen said I should go and explore the area.Therefore I went walking on the 2nd day. Around the lake was a really nice walking pathway. I packed my backpack and went off. I've never been walking by myself but now I can recommend it! Go and try it by yourself. You always make a new and good experience.

the lake and the statue made of glass

I saw a really great statue in the middle of the Loch. I also went to a café which Helen and Nik had recommended. After the walk I returned to the Camping Side and could relax. We had wi-fi and I could write home and also write to my friends.

The weekend was a little bit longer because the kids had the monday off from school. They get supported by their school because they support their school in sailing events. Because they are not old enough to drive by themself their parents got the day off,too. And I was lucky; because I am always with them I had a lazy day as well.

Here are some impressions of Loch Earn. When you are in Scotland near Loch Earn you should go there and explore the area!

YORK

A cold but great day in Northern England I once read in my UK travel guide that if you only have the chance to explore one city in the North of England, you should definitely spend one day in York. The city is not only surrounded by a wall but also by two rivers. These are the river Ouse and the river Foss which confluence in York. Because the city has been existing throughout two millenia it has so much to offer. Only one example is York Minister which is the cathedral of the city. York Minister is one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe and the Archbishop of York has his seat there. By the way, the title "minister" derives from churches which were established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches. We did not go inside (you have to pay a lot to get inside) but we took a look at the cathedral from outside and it really looked stunning. Somehow it reminded me of the Cathedral of Cologne, although it is at the same time very

Manchester, Liverpool and Lyme Park

Dear all, The new year has just started and I must admit I really needed the time off. It felt so good to be back home and I really enjoyed being far away from school and my job. Although I love working with the kids it is sometimes really hard to be so far away from your boyfriend, your family, your friends and your whole life at home. But nevermind. I will tell you about my last trip. So, just before the christmas holidays started I did another trip with my French friend M. Straight afterwards, I did not have time to wrote a travel summary so here it finally is: On our last weekend we took an early train from Lincolnshire to Manchester and stayed the whole weekend in a hostel which was called "Hatters". I must say I cannot really recommend it although it was a recommendation in my travel guide. Although its location was really central, the hostel was very old and run down. But nevertheless, the enjoyed our trip. On Friday we arrived at noon and had lunch in a nice pu

weekend trip to London

Hi everyone! I thought it would be nice to keep you all updated. While this weekend is more relaxed last weekend was busy and very exciting for me and two of my German friends, who came over to England to spend a weekend with me. We met on Friday in the evening and my train arrived in London at 1 o'clock. Therefore, I had time to check in into our hostel and to fresh up. Afterwards, I went to the Museum of London , which is an interactive Musuem which is close to St. Paul's Cathedral. The musuem is relatively new and it was really good. When I arrived they asked me if I would like to join a guided tour through the musuem which was called "Roman London". I thought "Why not?" and joined the tour. It was really interesting and the female tour guide told London's history in a very entertaining manner. I went outside afterwards and because I had a little more time I went into Topshop and lucky as I am I found a nice skirt and a pretty top. I just love T
