2. The Borders





During this break each student was only allowed two outings. The second trip was to the borders; the area around the border between Scotland and England. This time I joined 12 others in a van or rather mini bus provided by the college. It was another long journey. There was snow everywhere, along the sides of the roads, on the fields, farms and even the trees. It was a sight to remember, as everything was white. The drive was smooth except for the snow that slowed us. We managed to visit Peebles, and Melrose. Unfortunately as it was winter, many of the tourists spots like castles and farms were closed. I bought a Scottish cap and took a few photographs with the snow capped mountains as the background.
