Today was a very very long day. We had to wake up at six in the morning yet again to catch our train out to Hardwick and Haddon Hall. It was a two hours long train ride though so we were able to sleep and relax on our way there. I love getting out of London and seeing the smaller towns on the outskirts of the city. It reminds me a lot of Wisconsin with the rolling hills, cows, and trees for miles#:) The two places we went to today were incredible. Haddon Hall is an English estate that dates back to the Norman times. The grounds and gardens around it were just as beautiful as the building. Hardwick Hall was another estate from the 1500s. I took loads of pictures so hopefully I'll have them up so you can see just how incredible these places really are. The best part of the day was when we jumped on the train to head home after such a long day of walking and finding out an hour or so in that we were on the wrong train!! We had to ride the train for another hour to the next stop, then get on the right train back home. We ended up riding the train for 5 hours when it should have only taken us two. It was pretty funny actually...we had to get lost in England at some point on this trip right?
