Botanical Gardens and Birds of Prey Day

May 9, 2019May 19, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

This morning we got up, had breakfast and set off for the National Botanical Gardens of Wales and The British Birds of Prey Centre. Both are in the same complex and you can pay for them individually or all at once. We had read someone's review that said it would take about 45 minutes to … Continue reading Botanical Gardens and Birds of Prey Day

We found wild orchids!

May 8, 2019May 19, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

We headed out this morning after breakfast for Saundersfoot. When we got there we realized that it was just a bit too touristy for us and it was raining so walking around wouldn’t be much fun. It is right on the coast and has lots of shops and places to eat. On our way to … Continue reading We found wild orchids!

Narberth to St. Davids

May 7, 2019May 22, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

I got a cold shower this morning, Chris can apparently stand much hotter water than I can so he got a scalding hot shower. I couldn't take the heat so I got a cold shower. They have these interesting faucets in the shower, one turns on the water and the other controls the temperature. The … Continue reading Narberth to St. Davids

Our last day in Beddgelert

May 5, 2019May 19, 2019 / catshill / 1 Comment

Today was our last day in Beddgelert, Wales, we will miss it. It’s a beautiful and friendly place to be and the Tanronnen is the perfect place to stay. We went north and west today to visit Caernarfon Castle, and South Stack Lighthouse on Anglesey. Traffic was only slightly heavy, we are used to California … Continue reading Our last day in Beddgelert

Beddgelert is full for the weekend!

May 4, 2019May 19, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

We slept like rocks last night! All the rooms in the Tanronnen Inn and Pub are full and the heat was turned on, yay! Monday is a bank holiday so the entire town is full of people. Beddgelert is a very popular village since it's right inside Snowdonia NP and close to many trails, buses … Continue reading Beddgelert is full for the weekend!

Mount Snowdon, snow and a freezing room

May 3, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

Today we are riding the Snowdon Train to the top of Mount Snowdon. It’s cold and damp and this wimpy Californian can’t get warm. I have an undershirt, a heavy Columbia turtleneck, a sweater and a raincoat on. Almost forgot, also a heavy fleece jacket under the raincoat and a wool cap. Picked up our … Continue reading Mount Snowdon, snow and a freezing room

Good-bye to Manchester and Hello to Beddgelert

May 2, 2019May 25, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

Woke up at 7:30 this morning, showered, packed and went down to breakfast. As soon as we walked into the dining room we knew something was amiss. Our waitress from the evening before came over to seat us looking very harried. She said the chef hadn't shown up this morning so all of the non-cooking … Continue reading Good-bye to Manchester and Hello to Beddgelert

Long day of travel

May 1, 2019May 14, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

We got up at 6:00, had breakfast, showered, did a little last minute packing and were out the door by 8:00. The drive to LAX was pretty uneventful and we got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Flying on Air France to CDG where we will have a 6 hour layover before … Continue reading Long day of travel

Getting Ready for our Trip to Wales

April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 / catshill / 1 Comment

I've been keeping track of the weather and it looks to be cool by California standards which is just fine by me. Our heat has already started here on the Central Coast. Yesterday was 88°F and the day before was 93°F. Looking forward to spring flowers, mountains and castles. Trying to figure out what to … Continue reading Getting Ready for our Trip to Wales

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
