Hey all, We went to Edinburgh, Scotland this weekend. We left on Wednesday morning around 10:00. We went by train. It was about an 8 hour journey. We got in to the central train station around 8:00 in the evening so we got a cab to take us to our hotel, the Park View House Hotel. We had a nice room, it was small but it doesn't really matter when all you do is sleep there! After we had settled we went to find food. Our Hotel is about a 30 minute walk to the ci...

Hey all, This weekend we went to Llanberis (pronounced Clanberis). We went by train to Llanberis, about 4 or 5 our ride and then by bus, another 40 minutes, to Llanberis. There was a delay on one of our trains so we got there later than we wanted. When we first arrived we searched for our hotel and walked needlessly up a giant hill. After we found it we went and walked around Padarn lake and then walked up to the castle. The stairs were scarier than the ones at ...

Hey all, Today we went to Chepstow Castle and Tintern Abby. This trip was amazing. It was so pretty in both places. Chepstow Castle is located on the river Wye, which divides England from Wales.

He was very knowledga...

Hey all, I just realized it has been quite a while since I had updated, so I thought I better. Classes have been going good and we haven't made it out a lot on the weekends because it has poured from the time we get up until we go to bed! It is supposed to be nice this weekend though. A couple of weeks ago we walked to mumbles. It took us almost 2 hours just to walk there and then about the same back. It was a long walk. My feet and legs were really tir...

Hey all, We haven't been up to much lately other than school stuff. We went to the beach the other day. The beach is right across the street from the university. We walked around for a bit. We walked in the water but it was really cold. We sat down on the beach and craig decided to make a sand castle. It was fun! We were only out for a couple of hours but it was nice. I think later this week we are going to walk to mumbles to a beach there. We a...
