Hello again





So yeah, that's Wales for ya. Sam made it to Herefordshire, me and gramps picked him up on Friday from Leominster (which is said like Lemster, wtf?) station. He had a 3 and a half hour train ride up, and spent the first hour thinking he was going in the wrong direction haha. Ah well. So Saturday we spent doing sweet f all, went to Kington to a place called The Oxford Arms for tea, pub meal and a pint , and it was yum. Then we bought some beers and went home, and had a skype date with Tasman WOOHOO. God he's so awesome. He was telling us about how he took the little frog I sent him from Vietnam to show and tell which was cool! And he left his Spiderman mask outside and someone took it, and he will have to find them and snatch it back hahaa. Hope you're successful buddy!

Sunday we went for a mission to Wales, which is about 5 miles from The Whittern Estate where we are staying. It's such nice country round here, it's like being in NZ. We planned to go to a place called Rhayader, which 'is a small historic market town in Mid Wales. It is also the gateway to Elan Valley and set in the Cambrian mountains'Thanks google. When we got there we went to get some cheese and salami for the freshest buns on the planet, so we could have a picnic lunch, but then it started to rain so we ended up having to have the picnic in the car hahah. Oh well. We were trying to find a castle too, but we only saw some random points here and there. Was very cool. The welsh language, wowza. The title says 'please drive carefully in Wales'. Yeah, it really does.

The Simpsons Castle ahoy Hi! Oban haha Otto the watchful dog Just turdsing up the beach... Looking for prawns Success!  Hey. Next destination please! We left for Scotland at 11 for the long drive north, following signs that actually said ‘The North’, which I thought was quite funny.   We drove past Sherwood Forest, which was near Robin Hood airport. Go robin hood.   We did get a flat tire which took about an hour to find a place to replace the back two, and luckily it was that close, there was a lot of driving where there was nothing for ages. Driving past ruined castles was pretty cool, just hanging on the side of the motorway. It seemed to start raining as soon as we went over the border haha, YAY! I   do like a bit of cloudy background. Also on the way in and out of Glasgow, they had these big signs above the motorways, the ones that generally say ‘WORKS AHEAD’ and all that, and they were saying things like, ‘why not car share?...

Handy. Checked out a few  more of the old Roman buildings and walls and decided to stop for a niceee iced coffee. You do iced coffee? Yeah? Cool, two of them thanks. And what ...

We booked this place a 20 mins drive from Levanto which is on the coast and close to Cinque Terre. The temperature in the mountains is juuuuust that little bit more bearable wth motorbike gear on hahah. Intermission Last year Greer and I were going to stay in Riomaggiore which is the first of the 5 little villages of 'Cinque Terre'. I'd seen a picture of one of them on a bus, we thought we would go to Pisa, Florence and Riomaggiore for the week, and so I googled, 'how to say Cinque Terre'. Keep in mind this is a place in ...
