Day 14 (Conwy): Fairies and Whales

Today we made our way across the Irish sea by way of ferry into northern Wales. We then rode the train through some towns with thoroughly unpronounceable names. Getting around has been something of a pain; the signage isn't great and it can be hard to find even basic information like bus fare. Anyway, we arrived in Conwy (say "Conway") to find an adorable medieval town ringed by a 13th century wall and castle. Tomorrow we head out to Bristol.
The Irish Sea. We rode one of those mega-ferries with a parking garage for cars , a casino, and a  food court.

Say that ten times fast.

We saw tons of sheep on the train ride through Wales.

Relaxing at the hostel with some local microbrews.

The napkin says "Welcome to Wales." Thanks, napkin.

The 13th century castle and city walls that ring the old city.

  4. Better than I eat.

    This blog actually makes me somewhat jealous, I won't lie. God damn, you even have a witty title for it.

    I'd definitely prefer to read your writing than watch your pictures - have any exciting anecdotes yet?
