...To the beige-mobile, chums!

Friday, January 2

WE HAVE RETURNED, DESPITE AN ORANGE THREAT LEVEL, from our trip to London. It was lots of fun and we learned about congestion charging. We wandered around the city for a few days, taking in the sights and sounds. We were advised to see "Jerry Springer: The Opera", but we didn't. We visited the National portrait gallery, the London Eye, buncha old churches, etc. Then the REAL fun began when we took a train ride North to Wales. We stayed in a hostel located 30 feet from the Menai Strait, essentially within the walls of Caernarfon Castle. (Pronounced "ka-NAR-ven"). Wonderful. We went to the pub, we ate fish and chips and "free-range egg & cress" sandwiches... which we really enjoyed and will be making here at home.

We will be making another trip... date and time unknown. Outdoor opportunities include mountain biking, mountain climbing, hiking, drinking beer in pubs, windsurfing, walking through the mist-shrouded moors and healths, visiting 100-year-old ruins, rock climbing, sleeping late, and camping. The area around Snowdonia National Park is just great. It wasn't even that cold!
