Coffee Letdown

Tue 6 Jun

I woke up and made a few calls home to NZ. It was really nice to chat to everyone, a nice change from emails.

I walked to Carlisle to a cafe where I was told serves the best coffee in town. If this is the case then there is a hellava lot of improvements required until I drink coffee in Carlizzle again!

After this I found out that I was too late to go to Hadrian's Wall, so I visited the Carlisle Cathedral (had a lovely lunch on the grass outside) and the Castle instead. The cathedral was very pleasant, but the castle was a bit of a let down. Learning about the 'Bonnie' Prince and Queen Mary Of Scots were the highlights though.

We heard rumours that a bar called Fatts was quite fun, so we had a pre-dinner beer and a post-dinner beer there. Bloody busy for a Tuesday night that's for sure.
