Now that I’ve blogged about travelling in Wales, my thoughts turn to mainland Europe. I’ve already travelled in Spain and Portugal (posts to come) and I still want to see more of the ‘Old World’ . Many options fly by in my mind HOW to travel around Europe. Shall I...
Who’s THAT Tra...
Before I went on my RTW travels, I could be often found stalking other travel blogs but what really interested me was the travel blogger behind the witticisms of their writing. Who are they? Are they real? Are they fit? So hence, for a long time coming, I wanted to do some travel blogging...
5 Places I would Want to Go Back to Wales For
After absolutely loving my times in Wales, I absolutely want to go back. I know one week travelling in Wales doesn’t do this amazing country any justice so I would like to dedicate at least another week there. My recent foray into Wales was spent mostly in the Northern parts so there is indeed the southern part and the central parts to explore more fully. So after thinking about this, I identified 6 places I would like to go to get my Welsh hat on! 1. Cardiff Of course, you have to visit the Capital City! I have been there before in 2008 but it was a short introduction in the guise of visiting its castle (yes, I’m castle...
Going Eastward throu...
As Tom and I munched silently in the breakfast room of Llandudno Hostel, we knew the fated day had arrived. This would be our last day in Wales and we had thoroughly enjoyed our stay here especially in the Northern Parts. As we felt we had pretty much as much of...
Could It Be A Dud At Llandudno?
The point of the message on the pic in relation to a post about Llandudno? Nothing much really. But it’s on display there and I thought about if the bra was on the other foot. (it can happen!) Meanwhile, I digress. We are here to talk about Llandudno! Woooo! Just over the estuary from Conwy, where Tom and I visited earlier, we swapped from a cultural heritage site to a traditional pier seaside resort. It’s North Wales premier seaside resort so we are gonna grab those sunscream, a bucket and spade and maybe my brazilian speedos and strut our stuff on the sand. Or so we thought. We arrived early evening and we made the most classy...
Walking on the Walls...
‘Well this was a great stop on the way to Conwy!’ I exclaimed in delight as I rubbed my belly. Smacking my lips, I stared down at the empty plate that held before me. Yes, food again has been the source of my happiness. I had what both Tom of TomarHawk and I have searched for to...
A Taste of Italy at ...
To Portmeirion! Thanks to the disaster of being at Anglesey and the hell-hole that is HolyHead, I was sated enough to visit the longest place-name in Europe just before we headed on over the Menai Bridge to get back to mainland Wales. I think the bridge in itself is a feat of wondrous...
The Longest Place Name in Europe
‘Llan…fair….gobbleledook.’ I surmised mirthly as I read out the longest place-name in Europe. I don’t think my many years of speech therapy as a kid, thanks to my deafness, could make me read out this. Yes, we were in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. A mouthful isn’t it? Loosely translated from Welsh, it means ‘The Church of Mary in the Hollow of the White Hazel near the fierce whirlpool and the church of Tysilio by the Red Cave.’ I mean, who makes this up? It’s almost as if you are giving directions to the place! For me, I would have said ‘Once you get...
Getting to Holyhead....
‘Why have you taken me here?!‘ I angrily rounded over at Tom, who was too busy laughing at my extremely rare reaction. ‘Why the hell have you taken me to Holyhead?! It should be known as HolyHell!‘ Guys. I was staring in the mouth of Hell. Okay, okay, perhaps I was...
Where do I go in Spa...
Road to Spain While I was hanging around in Caernarfon in Wales stuffing my face with Welsh food goodness, my phone beeped. I got a text! I ignored it and carried on sampling the leek and potato pie. Now my Facebook notification was beeping, followed by my twitter beep and an annoying blurb...
