Had to get up at the butt crack of dawn and was on the bus at 6:30 am! Off to Wales! Some of the girls in my group didn’t come back to hotel until 4 am, oh to be young again. The boat ride was about 4 hours – and I upgraded with Michol so we can get the free beverages and a mini buffet. It was totally worth it – we had way more room. After we got off the gigantic ferry – we went to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch – yes just one word! And they even leave out a passport stamp so that you can stamp your passport with it
Then it was an hour drive to yet another castle. We laughed since we have seen sooooooo many castles, it is starting to get old. And then a 2 hour drive to this roadside hotel with nothing to do around. Strange thing is our keys – they are Skelton keys, and you have to lock yourself into your room. Since there is nothing to do, we are all calling it an early night. Right now on BBC2 is the world dart tournament – it makes me miss Chris. But I did get to finally Skype with him today – hurray for great wi-fi.
Tomorrow - we go to see Shakespeare’s birth place, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage (Shakespeare’s’ wife not the actress), Oxford and London! We stay in London tomorrow and will take a guided walking tour too – busy busy!
