The next two days of my trip were spent in Stirling and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Starting out the first morning in Dunblane, I had a Scottish breakfast at the hotel before heading to Stirling Castle.

On my last day in England, I began my morning with breakfast in the hotel, overlooking the Windermere lake. Because I'm finishing up two summer school classes, before getting back to tourism, I had to complete and submit an essay.

It's been an exciting few years, travel-wise! Covid put a small damper on the travel plans we had in the works, but I was still able to go on lots of small weekend trips and a few longer adventures.
