BEST DAY OF WHOLE TRIP!
... magical mountain – called Diamond Hill – one of Twelve Bens or Twelve Pins as they are called. We were speechless with the beauty surrounding us. Came down around the back, following the stones and later the wooden pathways to the bottom for a bit of lunch.

Overall, the bus tour was a lot of fun. This was partly due to the beautiful weather and the people I was with. Through the university, we got a deal with a local tour bus company and now we can go on other bus tours for free! This weekend we plan to take the Cliffs of Mohr bus tour.
