I made up my mind to start this blog, where i can share my experiences that i gained during my big travel. i hope everyone will enjoy it, and you won't get tired of clicking too much because of the many pictures.
By the way: pls find my photos on the left-hand-side bar - TravelPics -
this is where i am going to share my pics taken during these sixteen days.
I've already uploaded pics from the first four days.
that is:
1. Warwick, Kidderminster (England)
2. Cleobury Mortimer, Ludlow (England)
3. Brecon Beacons National Park, Cardiff (Wales)
4. Barry Island, Llantwit Major, Swansea, (Wales)
Just not to let you down, i will start the report on these two weeks.
On the first day i visited my friends -Arpi n Bara- near Kidderminster. On the way there, i stopped at warwick. there's a nice castle. unfortunately i had only one hour to catch the next train, so a didn't enter. anyway, i've got some nice pics. warwick was built on river Avon. Sounds familiar? Stratford-upon-Avon? oh yeah, this is where Shakespeare was born. great, i felt this transcendent feeling, too, but then i moved on to Brighton then to Kidderminster, and eventually to Cleobury Mortimer.
This is where Arpi n Bara are working, in the so called Pioneer Centre. u can guess what it is. well, yes: a prison.:) no drinks, no smoking, no sex. alright, alright, just jokin, these are just the rules. the place is very ambient, people are very kind. i mean the staff. it's situated in the middle of nowhere a little bit, and that's why it so peaceful. surrounded by nature. forrests, lakes, uhm golf pitch... and if u want to get there (to the golf pitch) u need to cross a cow-shit-minefield, which is an advanture :)) so we made a great trip to the pine forrest nearby. we were waiting for deers to come to drink, climbing an extremely steep hill, we found a snake and a little frog. gud stuff.
then we visited Ludlow, a little English town near Wales. the journey to Ludlow was lovely. great views, nice cottages, sheep prowling around on the hills, fields and the road.
Ludlow is quite pretty, it is the gastronomy capital of England -according to the Guardian. well, i didn't know this that time, so what i am gonna remember is the Castle which wall i climbed, the river in which dogs were swimming and chasing ducks and that i spent a great time with Arpi n Bara.
From Ludlow, i moved on to Cardiff, capital of Wales. that was the second day.
Cardiff is not as great as i presumed, 2 evenings were completely enough to discover the sights. Cardiff comprises two main parts: Cardiff Centre and Cardiff Bay. In the evening when i arrived i explored Cardiff Centre with the Castle, nice park and some nice buildings. then the next evening i visited Cardiff Bay. This one was much more interesting: extravagant buildings, cultural centres, entertainments. and the ocean.
however Cardiff was a good starting point. i was accommodated in a youth hostel (not too bad, not too good), but at least it was close to the centre and the railway station, and i also had breakfast there. what's more, it was near the Millenium Stadium which looks where nice at night.
for now, this should be enough, i want to maintain your excitement. ok-ok, i don't want you to get bored...
