UK Adventures
In my last post I mentioned how I really wanted to travel more this semester--and I've been doing exactly that! But instead of traveling to far-off places, I've been doing some great little day trips right here in the U.K.As a Brookes students, I've received many opportunities to do some traveling--and at costs that won't completely break your budget!
Excursion UK
This is the group I went on my last two trips with: Leeds Castle and Canterbury + Cardiff, Wales. Each trip cost about 26 pounds. You just hop on the bus, get dropped off at your destination, and you have X amount of hours until you have to hop back on the bus to go home. Both trips I went on started around 8 or 9 in the morning and we got back about 12 hours later. A long day, but very worth it!
Pictured below are a few pictures from my last two trips!
Leeds Castle
For 10 pounds we were able to walk around the castle and explore every room. It was not only beautiful, but very interesting.

Canterbury Cathedral
For about 9.50 we were able to walk around the breathtakingly beautiful Canterbury Cathedral. I loved Canterbury. It was an adorable town with lots of shops and restaurants. A great place to spend a Saturday.

Cardiff Castle
My second trip with Excursion UK was to Cardiff, the capital of Wales. I loved Cardiff, and was so happy I finally was able to see a part of Wales. The castle was gorgeous and we ended up taking a walk to Cardiff Bay to get a view of the water--so beautiful!
