Back from hols

Well I'm back from our hols in Wales feeling chilled but very stiff!

We decided to go a couple of days early and stayed at Shell Island, which I think everyone else in the country also decided to do as the queue for reception was manic! The site is lovely, its on a peninsular & when the tide comes in you're cut off from the main land! You can pitch wherever you like and we were lucky enough to have a spot practically on the beach, it was lovely just sitting out watching the sea, apart from when it rained all day on Saturday!

On bank hol Monday we moved to our fav camp site Trawsdir which is 5* so has fab clean loos and showers, plus they have radio 2 playing while you're in there!

Tuesday was a damp start but soon cleared so we got a bit of culture and went to Harlech Castle. It was fab walking thru the ruins and going up the towers, the only problem was coming down them they had small narrow steps which were fine going up but coming down when there is only a rope for a handle i was panicing!

Weds was the start of the lovely scorching weather so we decided to go to Snowdon and go up on the train and walk down. When we got there though all the trains were booked until Friday so we booked for then, there was no way I was going to walk up and down again! So after booking our tickets we went to a nearby woods to do an old Goldmine walk we found last year with lovely waterfalls but we couldnt find it this year but had a nice walk anyway!

On Thursday we just chilled at the beach in Barmouth ready for our trek down the mountain the next day. Ian got a crab line and modified it to do some fishing and caught a horrible eel! It was disgusting like a snake but slimey!

So that was our hols. We came home yesterday to find the laptop isnt turning on! I think (hope) that the power button has gotten stuck cos I think we press it down rather than in when we turn it on, naughty I know! So at the mo I'm using my mums comp while shes away then will try and get in touch with my uncle and see if he can do anything. I'll try and upload some pics at some point.

Sorry for the essay haha xx
