day 3 - 30th june - wed- york to haworth
same breakfast as the previous day. its a lot!! took a 2 hour bus ride to Haworth. slept, listened to music with yorksun, took a few pics. the scenery is beautiful!!!! once we reached Haworth, we immediately went to the Bronte Parsonage museum for a short intro about the Bronte sisters and family, then we could see their real house! had a tour of the house. and by chance, some of us found a beautiful meadow next to the house! one had horses in it, one just had grass and flowers. so we took pics, ran against the wind, lie on the grass and just had fun! suddenly feel like migrating and staying somewhere with a meadow! its really awesome! want to live on the country side. :) had fish and chips for lunch at a pub where the father of the Bronte sisters frequently visited. saw a few cute dogs! then had a tour of Haworth. saw many buildings and places related to the Bronte family. learnt more about them and their books. visited a much bigger meadow, or maybe moor. it was a long and tiring climb up to the top but we were rewarded by a great view and nice breeze! :) there were many cats and played with them!
finally travelled to the lodge and had a big dinner. turkey with mash potatoes, boiled potatoes, etc! :) and free flow of coke! :D used faezah's iPad again. highlight of every night! can talk to people through fb. :) no party tonight cos everyone was tired. but watched one born every minute. quite an interesting show. tired to get yorksun to wake up to bath but it was tough!!! next time will let her bath first... was tired too! looking forward to a long bus ride tmr!


day 4 - 31 june - haworth to saltire  to dorchester
managed to sleep a whole night without waking up at all! :) had a chance to finally talk to yorksun much more and sang together on the bus.:D breakfast was getting boring, its the same as usual. only ate muffin this time though. didn't feel hungry. had a 15min bus ride to Saltaire, though we were told its an hour. was fast cos there was no traffic. :) Saltaire is a village created by Titus Salt just for his industrial purpose. it helped to improve the lives of the people too! had a tour of the place. we had to walk in the heavy rain cos the weather took a turn for the worse. :(  wet weather also meant that we couldn't see as much as we were supposed to. also caused bad spirits. :( oh well... each of us has a bookmark of a certain person in saltaire. i'm someone called salley, who is married and is 27 years old! is that coincidence? saw a church, a school building and a dance and theatre building. had lunch at some underground place. had sandwiches which tasted so good! ate cheese, ham and egg. also bought some chocolate thing called rocky road. it was good too! love the food there!
then had a long 4 hour ride to Dorchester. saw a bit of the scenery. but not much cos i slept most of the way. had a toilet stop at some R&R place. bought 2 books! happy and hyper about them! visited the stone henge on the way. couldn't get passed the gate cos it was closed but its still nice to be able to see it, even if its from afar. dinner was fish and chips! :D ate at some place near our lodge. sat with york sun and the teachers so we had a long long talk about adult stuff. then suddenly talk about harry potter! LOL! the rest were tired so we didn't go room hopping. replied people on Facebook and couldn't wait to see everyone again! in the room with York sun, couldn't sleep so we did work, played songs, sing and took pics! also ate snacks. going to be fat!!!!
