Wales, Bath and Devon

After leaving the beautiful lake district we took off on a magical mystery tour through the weird and wonderful Wales. Deciding to venture deep into the Welsh back waters. We arrived at the mainly Welsh speaking Bala. This was one wierd place, strange little people, strange little houses who all speak Welshish language as Gab calls it. Camped by a babbling brook in a beautiful location. All was good until we hit the slow winding roads with the occasional potato truck going at 5 km per hour which almost sent me mental, had my first major meltdown. Still we reached Cardiff. We went through the magnificent Cardiff castle and saw the sights of the beautiful city. Had a lovely dinner of curry, chips and Guiness beers with Gab's friends Kristen and Andy and had a lovely night. Unfortunatley there was nowhere avalible to camp. We were sent down a narrow lane to a cow paddock with no toilets or showers. So we parked our van in the front of Kristen's friends house. It was like sleeping in a street in the middle of Melbourne, still we managed. And a fantastic night, thanks Kristen. After leaving had a great day at Bath. Highlight was the Roman Baths and pump house, a 2000 year old Bath for the local Roman Leaders. Steff even managed to fight a TopShop and i bought my first thing for the trip so far, a pair of pants. After sitting in a traffic jam on the M5 and went winding down rediculously narrow lanes in South Deven, we arrives at Dartmouth at 7.30pm. Look foward to spending some time exploring today. See you soon.
