24.08.24 Arrival in St. Bees

Anne and I set off from home at 5 AM this morning. The Frankfurt airport performed well, and we were at the gate by 5:30 AM. The flight to Manchester went smoothly, and picking up our luggage at the airport was hassle-free. Then we took the train via Barrow-in-Furness (a place we had never heard of before) to St. Bees. In the meantime, we stumbled around a bit on the beach and enjoyed watching the children running into the waves in their underwear, squealing with delight, while we sat in our outdoor jackets and hoods in the windshade. We have also started collecting our little stones. Now we are in our hotel room with a beautiful view, relaxing a bit, organizing our backpacks, and tomorrow the real adventure begins.
