Wales is absolutely gorgeous... But then, I suppose you all probably knew it would be... I wish you could all be here to see it for yourself... the countryside really is quite breathtaking...
My time here has probably been the quietest, most peaceful 2 weeks I have ever experienced anywhere... ever...
The fresh air, the solitude, meeting the farm animals, coming across fresh cherries and raspberries by the roadside... doesn't that sound just divine... its all really been quite lovely...

Hostels here are superb and most of the 30+ YHA's are all in quite stunning, remote, off the main pathway places...
One of the prettiest places I stayed had a no vacancy sign out the front... it pays to ignore them... you just never know...

Catching the local transport has been fun... sitting with the locals... listening to all the conversations... people are so friendly and open and no qualms about expressing whatever's on their mind...
I had to have a giggle when I was engaged in a friendly conversation with an older lady at the bus stop...
the dear was referring to the bus driver approaching... "oh bugger... here comes ole misery chops again"... he didnt seem that cranky to me... 😊... was a funny moment...

Hey... did you know that Dr Who is filmed by BBC in Cardiff, Wales... Always has been and still is to this day...
Dr Who is a fantastic show... I dont think we get it in Oz anymore...

Onto Ireland now... and probably much more of the beautiful same... x

I saw an old b&w photo of this hotel in 1908... the ivy had just started over the doorway... I never would have thought it would take 100 years to get this far...
