Croeso i Cymru [Updated]

theremin by theremin · Nov 8, 2004 · 174 views · Journal

Croeso i Cymru.. it's like Wales's slogan. You see it everywhere.. the Cymraeg (Welsh) when translated means Welcome to Wales!

I had a killer time.

Went to Llandudno & Conwy, Wales (at the North West tip of Wales, just short of the Isle of Anglesey). I saw a very impressive 11th century Castle (Cowy Castle) built by Edward I of England. And saw the shores of where Lewis Carroll used to tell stories to Alice Liddell (on which his Alice in Wonderland was later based on). Saw the smallest house in Britain. And the impressive mountain range of Snowdonia. I took a good long walk along the town walls of Conwy, and hiked from there, along the shores of Cei Quay to the Bae (Bay), all the way to a Mountain in Llandudno, which I hiked a bit itself, when I got there. So, I actually walked across three towns on my second day in Wales. The first day was wholly spent at the Castle.

Now it's just an attraction that closes down for the winter, so I didn't actually get to see the inside of it. It's last resident was something like 6 foot 5. Crrazy

Really think? WOw, thanks! Jehovah deserves the credit for the landscapes he's created for us of course. Wales is such a beautiful place, that I'd definately want to visit again.

hey did you have a REALLY old tour guide at conwy castle? a super old dude? who was REALLY short? i had him, i think i went a couple of times. my sister did that tour like 8 times, 4 for school or something, you definitley have to hear her talk about it.
