EVERYTHING is SO green here!

Walking

Train back to Huddersfield

= Pooped
(Heidi & Christina asleep on the train - we actually ALL fell asleep on the train home, including our instructor)

...but a good pooped :)

Random side notes for the day:
- Stores close so early here (one grocery store we were at closed at 8pm)! The only things open late are the pubs.
- All the cars and road lanes are TEENY! (I've only seen like 2 cars total that were bigger than a compact car - besides buses) We even witnessed an accident today - a bus ran into the back of a little BMW...no one was hurt, but the poor BMW was, well, not lookin' too good.
- The stoplights turn yellow before they turn green!

Note: Thank you to those who graciously pointed out that you get your pound back when you return the grocery cart :) - it was very helpful this evening as we stopped to get food on our way home.
