Lucky I know this website off by heart

lol cos as I type on Ness's computer, she has it set to Danish haha so I'm just navigating my way round, hoping I get it right!

Anyway! Update time!

After I stayed with Tom's mum, I caught a train up to Bangor in North Wales to go and stay with Ellie, a friend from camp. She had another friend up from home which was cool so once I arrived and had a lovely cup of tea, we went on an explore! We went out to the longest place name....ever? In Wales? In the Northen Hemisphere? Not sure, but it was damn long! I got a sweet as Welsh hat there, which I shall rock when I get home, next winter haha. There was a sign post there which pointed to different places around the world, and only the signs to Wellington and Auckland had an acronym after them which eluded to the country haha.

LOL
My awesome Wellington Hoodie, next to the Wellington Sign

There it is again, lol
Oh yes, I forgot to mention. This is in Anglesey. Yes. Sound familar? It should. Its where Will and Kate live!! I was so gutted I was there when they were doing their bloody Jubilee tour over in Singapore etc. Anyway, we passed a supermarket Kate shops at, so I felt kinda cool haha. Anglesey is an island across an awesome bridge from Bangor. Nice place. Ellie then took us for Fish and Chips, but the weather was a bit shoddy so we ate them inside. We then went out to Beaumaris where I went to my first castle! And an awesome castle it was too. We did some fun exploring and all called bedrooms and tried to figure out how much string we would need to be able to make those can phone things so we could talk to each other. Quite a cool castle too, it was still all together so we were able to find random little staircases that lead to no where.

Hello Castle!

Toilet break!


Castle grounds, time for a joust maybe?

Castle wall, so much brick!
 We found some random signs though, so interpretations are greatfully appreciated.
 To quote one Russell Potts: "Meaning: 1 - Gravitational anomaly, some people will appear smaller than others. 2- With said anomaly you can walk while leaning over. 3 - Just jump down the stairs, it's faster. 4 - Due to anomaly birds can't fly very high, watch out for them."
and again, Russ the Wise says "Brain hurting from trying to interpret sign."

After we'd finished doing all the touristy stuff, we headed back to Ellie's flat where we hung out with her super cool flatties and had dinner etc. We went out for a drink that night but everyone was super tired by like 10pm, which suited me so we got back at like midnight and I managed to skype Mum and Dad which is always nice!

The next day was a lazy start, but we eventually headed down to the pier and did a little bit of crabbing. Its something that takes a lot of patience to catch the big ones, but the wind so so blustery that we only ended up with some small ones in our pot. We had to throw them back, but it was still fun catching them!

Our haul

Bye bye crabs :(
  After crabbing, we headed into town to the Applefest. We were kinda expecintg cider, hog roast, apple pie etc. Nothing. We saw 1 apple. It was lame, but quite funny. We found some pet snakes though so petted those before heading back to the flat and me on my mission to get to Aberyswyth or however its spelt. I had to catch a train from Bangor to Chester (back in England), Chester to Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury to Aber (back in Wales). Took about 4 hours, but boy was I glad to get there and see Tom's face at the station, once he eventually arrived. lol. 

Thats enough typing for me tonight, I then spent a week with Tom in Aber, but we didn't do too much, so I'll update on that later! Cheerio for now!
