... and they pretty much kicked him off, the jobsworth facist women-haters. We were quite depressed with ourselves considering we then had to pay out another £76 to get down to London, but I guess if this is the worst of our travel cock-ups for a seventh moneht world trip I guess we should 'quit the *****in....'

... was the shortest shower i've had in a long time though! <br><br>So off we set in the silver bullet once again - we stopped through Betws y coed, a small alpine like village in the mountains. The Autumn leaves were all different colours and it was just beautiful. <br><br>Then through the Snowdonia national park. Mt Snowdon is the highest peak in Wales and England - only a 1 in 10 chance of seeing the summit but we were lucky enough to briefly see it! We were also lucky enough to see a ...

Well from Fishgaurd we headed up along the west coast of Wales. Our first stop were Ancient Burial chambers, from prehistoric times - known as Dolmers (forgive the spelling!) they were massive slabs of rock, balanced on each other and then surrounded in smaller rocks, eventually making a mound. Goodness knows how they got the rocks up there! According to tradition (which Josh wasn't too happy with!) standing under them can improve your ...

... gt;), but it is clean and popular, there is also another access at the Eastern end of the site where jetskis can be launched. There a few signs for the Cliff walk which runs the entire length of the site and on to Cricieth.<br><br>The site is on the Lynn Peninsula and from it you can see Porthmadoc and Cricieth Cader Idris is obviously very clearly seen even on cloudy days when it disappears into the clouds. You note ...

... a laugh when there is ice about. The house looks out over the bay and the lights were starting to twinkle in the distance. <br><br>I hadn't been there before, and I was immediately glad we hadn't decided to camp. There were birds of prey in cages, who disliked the dog, even though he took no interest in them at all. The dog was far more concerned about the exciting smelling cages full of ferrets. His whole body started to quiver as he strained towards the ...

... had torches, otherwise... The worst was one guy jogging up with a massive backpack. As he ran past me I wondered if he'd just lost a bet and was having to do this as a forfeit... What was that about??!<br><br>Anyway, we were home by 8, in ...

Today we went to Snowdonia Park in the mountains and it was lovely. Everything is green here and lots of rocky terrain. There are many mountain climbers and walkers in Scotland and Wales. Everyone is friendly and is interested in our trip. From there we made a bee line for Llangollen Canal where we just made it for a 12:15 excursion along the canal in a 72 foot canal boot. The trip was lovely ...

So all flights, ferrys and buses we hve to book in advance are all booked, sponge bob car ready thestart of our rally to naples, Italy - along with my durcell battery water pistol!! <br><br>Just a few preparation pictures to show what we taking.<br>

We left our wonderful friends Margaret and Barry Austin and our grand room at the Midland Hotel this morning. Hard to leave a top floor room with floor to ceiling windows for the entire wall that looked out on the Morecombe Bay! I am adding photo's of the hotel and view.<br><br>We visited Chester, England and it was a darling town with the typical English Tudor style buildings and beautiful Cathedral. They were having a special ...

Not a good night's sleep - nearby church clock chimed every half hour, & wild windy weather as well. "Ugly House" just outside Betws-y-coed Llanberris Pass - amazing scenery. Lakes, huge slate quarries Caernarfon - Castle & Museum of Royal Welsh Fusiliers, "Hole in the Wall ...
