Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

The port town of Holyhead isn't exactly a tourist hotbed. As soon as we met up with our new, and much smaller bus, we took a one hour ride South. The terrain we passed through was about as dull and unexciting as the wheatfields of Iowa. Not only did we have a new bus, but we also now had an English bus driver, Mark. Just when I was about to fall asleep on the bus we pulled into our first stop in Wales - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The town is famous for one thing - the fact that it is the longest place name in the World. The building we are about to enter is a gigantic souvenir shop plumb full of items with that long name on it. It's actually a pretty nice store with excellent clean toilets and lots of food items. At this point I already felt like I had too much to bring home and we were only a couple days into the trip.
