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.

 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.

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!

Daytrip to the best city in the whole wide world-LONDON

London-my favourite city London (view from the Waterloobridge)   Tate Britain-Hall We went off to London at 9o'clock in the morning. We were from Ashtead to London in about 30 minutes. What a pleasure! We met Jeanette in Vauxhall and went straight to the Tate Britain. They both know a lot about British art and they presented me two famous artists. 1. William Turner and 2. Henry Moore. Moore is famous for his massive sculptures and William Turner painted big, bright landscapes. I liked the "Beach" paintings from Turner the most! He had a very good sense for drawing the sky with its various shades of light. We drove by boat to "Embankment" and there we went into the Southwark Cathedral. The Cathedral involved many different pieces of art and also different kind of alters. I liked it a lot. The churches are more open for exhibitions here. We enjoyed the sun outside in a café. We had chosen the best day to travel to London! It was 20 degree and the su...

Edinburgh and Glasgow

I am finally back in England. My last days in Scotland were so great! I stayed with a good friend of mine in Edinburgh. We stayed there for 2 days, then went to Glasgow for two other days. We stayed the last night in Edinburgh again and afterwards I met J. to drive back to England by car. Edinburgh Edinburg is the capital city of Scotland and it was so beautiful there. It was really "posh" and Edinburgh is a richer town than for example Aberdeen. It has a lot of history and you can do everything by foot. The city consists of the "Old Town" and the "New Town". I arrived on Friday and stayed for one night in Dalkeith and that was only 30 minutes far away from the city centre. I drove by bus and stayed in a beautiful posh house. On Saturday the funny part started. I met Jacky in the city centre and we checked in in the hostel. Our Hostel was called "Brodies" and it was situated on the High Street in the Old Town. It was really good. We wen...
