Only a few days left and continuing with the whole small world theme, my brother and family suggested we head north to Wales near Liverpool. They have friends in the area and everyone raved about what we would see in the north parts of Wales, many times overlooked for the more populated (and also beautiful) south. So since they were in the area we headed north and a bit west. The train ride was only a couple of hours and as the countryside flew past, the brick town homes of London quickly turned to beautiful lime green fields, fresh with new grass. Puffy white sheep dot the hillsides and pastures, while the steeples of brownish brick churches look out over the landscape in all directions. We arrived in Chester, a great town on the border with Wales and then drove about 45 minutes to the west and arrived in Conwy. The town was built by Edward I between 1283- 1289, the caste and walls around the city still stand. The site is truly breathtaking. Here are some of my pictures.
