One Day in Wales




Well, Wales was WONDERFUL!!!
Honestly, aside from the Dublin country sider (see slide show) Wales was my favorite destination. After getting off a ferry that was more like a cruise we arrive in Holyhead Wales. The day consisted of a lot of bus travel through villages, and countryside that looked like pictures in a storybook. The tour guide advised us that the people of Wales wanted a ruler from the land. So to accomodate the Welsch the King of England sent his wife to give birth to their heir on Wales soil later the child became on of England's most powerful rulers King Edward. Anyway, that is the best part of traveling to learn and become accustomed to the history, culture, and languages of diverse areas. After arriving at our small hotel that was believed to be hunted, I can confirm it was, I climbed a mountain. Yes, folks a mountain. Not only a mountain in wales, but a hike up a mountain at night to the ruins of the castle that once stored the Holy Grail. I can't make this stuff up! The memories that I acuired and the friends that I am still making have honestly changed my life!
