On our last Wednesdays-trip, we went to Cragside and the Seahouses.
Some of us met up at the college at 8:45am, and then the rest were picked up at Durham bus station. Once again, it would be a 1+ hour ride, so I chose to continiue reading ‘The Alchemist’.
When we got to Cragside, I was stunned by the incredible nature and landscape. The reason why we came to Cragside in the first place was to visit Lady and Lord Armstrong’s house which was the first house in the world that was lit up by hydroelectricity. The house was very large and beautiful as well. In the house we had a guided tour for about 45 minutes and then we had about an hour and a half to just wander around and explore Cragside. I went into the woods alone, and I enjoyed it very much. After that, I went into the tea rooms and got me some food, and that was basically it for Cragside.
Then we went to Bamburgh Castle on the way to the Seahouses, and we had about 20 minutes there, so almost everyone just decided to stay with the bus. I had already been there before with Niklas and his family, except this time it was sunny and less cold. So I decided to go down to the beach, and it was most definitely worth it!
When we returned to the bus, we were told that we would get about an hour and a half at the Seahouses. When we arrived, we went into a restaurant, but I didn’t eat anything because I had already eaten in Cragside, so I just ordered a beer.
In fact it was a Danish beer, Carlsberg!
UK STUDY TRIP:
I’m very grateful to have been given this great opportunity. These 8 weeks have been an incredible experience for me. I’ve seen a ton of things and learned a lot, and I will carry these wonderful memories with me as long as I breathe.
Thank you!
