So Ruby and I are the worst tourists ever. I mean we did the castle and what not on the first day but after that everything pretty much went to shit. Today we had to wake up earlier then we would have liked to given the time we went to bed last night but that's cause we had to check out of the host…

For those of you travelling to Wales this may be of some interest. The country, charming in itself has enough scenery, activity and natural beauty to entertain any age group. If you are strained from walking some of the tough mountain trails then this may be a plausible substitute. It isn't often t…

Today we are on the bus bright and early after a so-so breakfast.  We stopped in Cardiff for not much more than a potty stop and then off again.  Our less than excellent tour director didn’t even mention that Cardiff Castle was just around the corner and we may have had time to see a li…

Portsmouth, Dorset, Arundel, Isle of Wight, Chester, London, and the list goes on...

Aside from leaving Philly an hour and a half late due to an amazing thunderstorm with accompanying electric light show, our delayed flight to Manchester, England went off without a hitch. We managed to snag a couple of seats up front, avoiding the inevitable discomfort of sitti…

we went to Cardiff, went to the shops, and decided that we should have gone to Millenium Bay instead.  when I get around to that, I will be able to take a picture of the fab sign with a dalek on it, but it wasn't safe whilst I was driving! 

On Saturday, for the first time in months, I had nothing to do.  So having got up late, mooched about the place in my jogging bottoms, and had a bit of a think, I decided that this was not as much fun as I had thought it would be.  I needed to do something.  Something where, as far a…

This is a wonderful city, but unfortunately most visitors miss it in their UK trip ...

The capital of Wales has its own personality being proud, strong, polite and hard-working. The jewel of the crown would be its famous Castle built since Roman Times as a fort, enforced by normans with a wall and enriched with a victorian palace by powerful family Bute. A worth and interesting destination for travellers.

Cardiff is the capital of Wales and situated in Southern Wales.  This is my first trip this year to start the New Year and it's a damn shame that I live and work in England for the past 3.5 years and I haven't been to Wales until now.  LOL!  Cardiff is about 1.5 hours …

The weather looked poor in Llanberis, so we headed out for the coast and ended up having a glorious day with perfect weather.Our first stop was Caernarfon Castle. The castle was constructed by King Edward I of England, after his invasion of Gwynedd in 1283. It was modelled on the walls of Constant…

On the New Years Day had a Walk Up to Rodney's Pillar which is set on a hill top in Shropshire a few miles west of Shrewsbury and to the NE of Welsh pool UK.

Various pictures from my walks in Pembrokeshire. Temporarily my home, whilst I continue drifting like a ship with no anchor.

Some places in the UK are just indescribable...

Dropped into the National Library of Wales, to meet the person who would be joining me on three of the Wonders. He gave me a tour of some of the library and I got to see some of the areas that the public aren't allowed to. This person is my pre-adoptive brother. It's the first time we've met and it…
