Castles if you like.

   Sadly, today is our last day in Wales. There is both good and bad news that go along with this though. The good news is that we spent our last day looking at beautiful English and Welsh castles. The sad news is that we had to say goodbye (or are about to say goodbye) to Catherine, Barry and Steve who aided us on our trip. These 3 individuals were such assets to us on this journey that I cannot imagine it without them. They will all certainly be missed!
      The castle tours aided by these 3 were superb! Their help learning about these castles, and how to get there, certainly made a huge difference in how much we all enjoyed our trip. Both of the castles we saw today are nearly indescribable. One of them was more simple in looks but had the most spectacular view. It was certainly worth the hike up to it! The other, the English one, was actually meant to be a palace. It was amazing to learn about who lived and worked there as well as to learn about the military tactics used back then.
     Now we are all off to pack up for our journey to Belfast tomorrow! Hopefully this journey won't be as difficult as the first..
