We went through a med size town called Aberyswyth today ( on the coast) it was really busy , had a little market & I picked up some s&p shakers & T towels. But we couldn't get over the amount of young people there, there were thousands, then we found out latter it was a Uni town & they were celebrating their finals. They said we were lucky to escape unscathed. It was all good.
The place we stayed in that night was like a little Italy. Nestled in a valley, the buildings, the grape vines & even the people. I'd swear I was in Italy. Had trouble finding a B&B as there was a wedding on but luckily the tourist place was still open & we got a great one, high overlooking the town. It twinkled at night with all the lights & was so pretty in the misty rain.
We are in the midst of the Snowdonia National Park now & it's the most spectacular countryside. So we have decided to zigzag our way through to get the most out of it.
