Trip to Snowdonia

Thursday June 11

Today Harold came and took us to Snowdonia, which is about 1.5 hours from here. It's the second tallest mountain in the UK. He said it's about 3,000 meters high. It was a beautiful drive there. The roads were narrow, of course, and a lot of it was bordered by stone walls. We saw a mountain with rodidendurms on it as well as seeing these beautiful purple flowers along the road.

There are many mountian climber that go up the rugged and steep side of the mountian. Then we stopped in the village closest to the mountain. I was told that a small train takes you to the top. We didn't go to the top, and I guess it's because no road goes to the top. We stoped in the village to have some coffee at a big cafe/tourist shop. The inside wasn't nice, as it was like one big open room.

Then we drove back. Near where we are staying we stoped at a restaurant/hotel to have lunch. I saw the prices up to £19, and even a baked potato was £5.75. That's high for England. I just had a side order of chips (£2.50), while everyone else had beef curry. I was told the curry was £9.95.

Lil paid for the meal, but that is too much to have someone else pay.

The restaurant sat on a hill that has a view of the camping park where we are staying. You can see the sand dunes, the sea and the land that cures around it. It was a beautiful view.
We got home about 2.15pm.

Later in the afternoon I had a sandwich.
