I’ve wanted to do Wales since I got here and I finally had
the opportunity to go with Kelsey’s friend Michelle who came to visit. We met with our tour group in London and got
on our tour bus with a group of about 15 and started driving to Wales.
We made our first stop in Chester, England, which is an old
medieval in city. We walked around the
city for a bit and took pictures of the 2nd most photographed clock
in England, Eastgate Clock. The city had
really great black and white architecture as well. We had a jacket (baked potato) for lunch in
an old Roman bath and got back on the road.
We then arrived in Wales, and stopped at coastal city named Conwy. It’s a walled in city and our tour guide had us walk around the perimeter on top of the wall. We had really good views of the city.
Then we drove a little bit further to the North West Coast
of Wales to the city of Llandudno where we checked into our hotel. Michelle and I wanted to go out for fish and
chips so we went to the place our tour guide recommended and had an awesome
meal.
There was a pub nearby so we went there for a couple of
pints. We met up with some other people
on our tour as well as our tour guide.
We had a very diverse group of Irish, Australians, Americans,
Brazilians, and Argentinians. A couple
of us went down to the High Street to a couple of other pubs and then we called
it a night.
The next morning we met at the bus and drove to the city in
Wales with the longest name in the UK: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. We had some fun trying to pronounce the name
that is 58 letters!
From there we made our way to Caernarfon Castle. We had a great time wandering around the
castle grounds and in and out of different pathways and up and down lots of narrow
windy staircases. We joked that it was a
huge adult sized playground.
Overall, I had a fantastic time in Wales and I wish I’d had
more time to explore!
