Day 3: Bank Holiday Monday. We walked into Bowness from the site (just a short walk along the edge of Lake Windermere). We decided to catch a bus (hop on, hop off ticket which lasted all day) to Grassmere. All Paddy wanted to do on the bus was sleep - see pic of him yawning!!!Where we wandered around the village, church and garden centre (very doggie friendly - Paddy was even allowed in the shop, where we had to watch his tail amongst the breakables!!!). We then caught the bus to Ambleside, which was packed. There seemed to be people everywhere. Lunch was spent sat outside a hotel in the sunshine, watching the world go by. After lunch we walked around Ambleside and along the river. The surrounding views are just stunning. When the bus arrived it was an open-top one and as it wasn't raining we made the most of the opportunity and sat 'up top'. Paddy enjoyed the wind in his ears and Michael near had his knocked off by low hanging trees!!!! We stopped off an Winderemere for another wander before catching the bus a bit later back to Bowness.
