have just been exploring the country of Wales. Did a 3 day tour checking out some of the sites with 21 others. saw some pretty cool stuff - old ruined abbeys and a few national parks. Wales has some pretty cool history - all about kings and queens etc.
visited this really cool place called Port Meirion, which is a village that some rich fella decided to build because he wanted his own village - imagine that! when you walk into the place its like you're in some mediteranian country because of the style of the buildings and the bright colours. the only downside is that its aimed at tourists and you have to pay to get in, but other than that its choice!
visited some national parks - brecon beacon and mount snowdonia, stopped in some small welsh villages, and went to a town called llanfairpwllgwyngllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantgsiliogogogoch - hows that for an impossible name to say! even went out in a town in the north of wales where people actually speak welsh as their first language - its weird hearing them talk!

More trivia!
Port Meirion was chosen to be the village "The Prisoner" (a british series about a guy that's taken prisoner for committing a crime and moved to a convict village and everything about his ever existing is removed from the real world...weird stuff) because of it's strange appearance and the look of isolation.
