Wales, here we go... Part 1

Hi, we are at home now. After 4 days travelled to Wales. So excited and so tired. But after all we enjoyed the journey.

On 15 March 08, we started the journey to Liverpool. Our first stop was Liverpool Stadium.

They had football match today at 3.00pm, but we arrived there at 11.00am. So not so many peoples yet. Ble la jalan2 shopping souvenior skit. Then we started the journey to Wales and next destination was Flink Castle.
Macam kubu yang ditinggalkan jer. Iqbal and Azim (Nor's son) mmg excited siap lari2 tengah padang main ball. Hehehe. Before nih asyik kena kurung kat rumah jer. Dapat lepas bebas mmg ler masa yang dorang tunggu2 kan.

After that we went to Conwy Castle plak. Very big area and nicer but then it is the raining day, so tak dapet bawak Iqbal jalan2 dalam castle. Just papa & uncles jer went to shop at visitor center. Then, we headed to Holyhead the small island in Wales but been connected by tunnel. Sini pun tak dapat lepak lama coz hari masih hujan. Lepas sightseeing dalam car jer we straight to the Travelodge hotel, Bangor and overnight here.

Lepak kejap sementara tunggu nak check-out.

Early morning on 16 March 08 we started the journey to Greenwood Forest just 10 minutes drived from the hotel. tapi kena lalu ladang ler.
At the entrance jer la. Post dari mak buyong. The place looks so nice but we cannot explored it because we plan to go to Llanberis after this.Stop sekejap untuk sightseeing tepi tasik ni. Post dari preggy mommy.

Dah sampai ke Llanberis.

We spent quite long at Rheilffordd Llyn Padarn Llanberis Lake Railway. Sebab sini ada mini train arang batu yang ble tour lake.
Namanya Thomas Bach (tut tut). Iqbal memang excited dapat naik mini train nih. Siap nyanyi2 lagu Thamas & friends plak.

Kat dalam Thomas bach. Nak tour lake nih. Tut tut.

Then, we continued the journey to Blaenau Ffestiniog. Along the way to the place mmg view sangat cantik. Subhanallah. Perbukitan slate (metamorphic rock). Of course we recorded the view. Tapi tak dapat masuk kan kat blog la yer. Rasa macam we are in different world. So nice.

Stop sekejap for sightseeing. Tengok la ai sungai yang mengalir jernih di pinggir bukit nih. Nyaman sekali.

Ni kat railway stesen. Sempat possing mama nih.

So we having our lunch and solat at Blaenau Ffestiniog (but today is Sunday, this town sunyi sepi bagai di langgar garuda).

Along the way to Barmouth. Ada nampat yatch area kat sini.

Indah view along the way. So beautiful.

Castle on the hill.

Then we went to Barmouth (sea side area) and looking for the place to overnight. At last we stayed at Min-y-mor Hotel (next to the beach).

A few words in Welsh
out = allan
slow = araf
flood = llif
parking = parcio
(ni antara words yang ada huruf vocal, but mostly word dia huruf consonant jer. Cammana nak pronounce nih?)
