Our driving trip to Wales

Haha, this is MY car..

We just got back from our 4-day trip to Wales and it was lovely! Matty was totally thrilled by the car (so much so that he happily sat at the back for 2-hour stretches without so much as a peep..). The country itself feels different from South England, with much hillier and prettier countryside. I think Luke must have gotten a bit bored by my constant pointing out the window and going "So pretty.." while he had to keep his eyes on the road.

..and us

Instead of the usual B&B accomodation, we tried out a self-catering cottage this time. It was actually really nice, and provided a lot more space than just a regular room. And it was nice being able to cook simple meals and eat at a table, after all the experiences in hotels and B&Bs. I think we'll definitely do this more often. The downside was being based in the same place for our stay there, but there was plenty to do so it wasn't a problem at all.


The steam engine

We visited one of their many steam railways, and had a very pleasant ride with lovely views. No prizes for guessing who was the most thrilled... All in all, it was a good trip. I'll post up some more pics another time.
