Anturiaethau yng Cymru...

...ah yes, thank you Mr Google for your amazing translation skills... todays post title in Welsh means... Adventures in Wales... which is exactly what Grim and I have been up to!   As promised, more photo's of our trip.  Yesterday we set off bright and early  to explore the beautiful countryside that surrounds Llanberis.  We kept stopping off and leaping out of the car to take photo's... here are a few (again, 'scuse the lack of photographic skills... never a strong point of mine!)  I will try to keep the waffle to a minimum (hahahaa... who am I kidding?)

View of Llanberis - you can see our hotel from here!


Awww.... too cute not to get a piccie of...







I have a thing about flora and fauna... and check this out... aren't they just beautiful?

Gotta love springtime...

And following on from my pics of the rocks at Betsw-Y-Coed, here is a stunning hunk of Welsh slate... another fabby background stamp methinks...

Rocky... erm... 2 *groans*


And the last pic for today... the internet here is sooooo slow and it is getting late... here's a piccie of the name of the town with the incredibly long name... isn't it fab!!!  And of course, it is a railway station sign... gotta get the railway in there somewhere right?



Speaking of the railway... we have booked onto the Snowdon Mountain Railway first thing in the morning so I best get a wiggle on and get myself to bed.... I shall blog more pics tomorrow if the internet will allow!   Thanks for looking... TTFN
