Castles in Wales we visited, funnies


 

Today I found this small guide book from castles we visited in Wales years ago. We rented a brand new VW camper van with a pop up so you can stand up in it and traveled to visit many castles in Wales. Each one has a romantic and historic appeal. Caernarvon Castle is stunning. We also visited Beaumaris Castle, Harlech Castle and Conwy Castle. In England we enjoyed Berkeley Castle and Tintagel ruins, very dramatic.

We also rented a space for the van on a sheep farm in Wales, that was a beautiful location. We camped across the road from Stonehenge and saw the sun set and rise there. That was decades ago, it may be more controlled access now. Another don't miss place to visit.

I remember my visit to Great Britain like it was yesterday, although it was back in 1976, It was for a class studying British literature, and we got to see Stonehenge, too. Magnificent! Oh, and your memes are so cute. God bless!

That looks like an amazing trip! I'd love to see those castles and never knew that renting a camper was a possibility in Europe.

I envy you visiting those castles! What wonderful memories! The funnies are good ones. I recently saw a meme that you'll appreciate: The only squat I'm doing it diddly!! Haha.
