Holiday's are also booked for this year, China in the summer and back to Vegas for mine and Sarah's 30th birthday! How exciting. Lots to sort for the summer, visa's, if we need jabs, currency and all the other normal holiday related tasks like making lists of things to take and do! Should be an amazing holiday though.
On the subject of holiday's Daniel took me out in the pimped up converted AA van during Easter camper vanning! We had an amazing time and the weather was so nice. We went to North Wales, Conwy and went to the Welsh Mountain Zoo. That was fun especially the big brown bears who were entertaining the crowd. We also saw a bird display as well as an array of other animals.
The next day we went into Conwy, took a walk round the city walls and i can tell you i was not best pleased with how high they were! We also went into the castle where even Daniel was not the most comfortable with the height of the towers! We also spent a large portion of the day walking around the town looking for a betting shop as it was the Grand National. After seeking out a Betfred, bets were made but unfortunately our horses did not come in, boooo. There was a statue that Daniel was calling Conwy's Nelson, however after seeking it out it turns out it was no bigger than two foot tall! Which was similar to the world's smallest house that they have in Conwy, it was tiny even by my standards!
We decided to spend out last day in Llandudno at the seaside. It turns out that Snowdonia was not open to the peak so rather than going half way up we thought we'd save it til another time you can get to the top so rather than up a mountain, we went up the Great Orme! We were not best pleased when we got all the way up the hill to the cable car station to find out that they only take cash! We were further displeased when the lady said there was a cash point at the top of the Orme! Helpful! So we trekked all the way back down into the town and then back up again! The cable car was not the easier journey to make, dangling in mid air over virtually nothing, again you could probably imagine i was not best pleased! But once at the top it was a geographers haven! I obviously went rock collecting! When we came down we took a walk on the pier only to see a giant evil seagull hover above a guy eating an ice cream, who when he turned away pecked it out of his hand, cone as well! He looked like he papped himself and everyone around him couldn't help but laugh! Needless to say when we got our fish and chips we sat with the lid on sneaking out a chip when no seagull was looking!
During out little camper vanning trip we became awesome camping chefs! Our food was amazing, aside from the running out of camping gas mid sausage cooking, it was smooth sailing on the one camping stove we had. Because of the foodies we are we took many a picture of our camping cuisines, next time we're going to try some recipes from the camping cook book! I'm looking forward to it. The van itself is amazing, not your normal camping experience i can tell you. A futon style bed, fridge, microwave, sink and DVD player all installed in the back and it is currently getting a heater put in too! Once you've experienced the van you won't want to go back to a tent!
I will keep you posted on the next camper vanning adventure!
