On the way down to Wales we decided to drive through a bit of the Lakes District in Cumbria, England.
We visited Lake Windermere which is the largest of the English lakes, and it was a lovely sunny day there. Hamish tried some Kendal Mint cake, which is like a bar of solid sugar (with extra glucose syrup!) that tastes like mint oil. You can even get chocolate covered ones! Good for endurance sport and the like, apparently some went up Mt Everest with the Hillary crew!
Then we moved down and crossed the border into WALES!!!
First stop in Wales was Conwy, where there is an awesome castle with city walls still pretty well intact.
This is Hamish at the top of one of the turrets; check out the one top left!
From there we moved on to Llandudno, a victorian seaside town where we stayed the night. Has a really different atmosphere!
Here's Hamish skimmin' his stones
