Wales Road Trip Day 01

As a treat for Mum &Dad we decided that we’d take the opportunity of the summer weather and travel through Wales.








So to start the trip Grigoria & I took the train up to Chester with our secret trip itinerary leaflet enclosed to meet my parents for lunch in the historic stone walled old town.







After a nice lunch catching up on their recent Scotland trip, overlooking the Tudor styled high street, we strolled around the perimeter city wall to take in the sites.







At the southern end of the city and the end of the wall Mum pointed out the Recorder Hotel http://www.recorderhotel.co.uk/ where they stayed the night before….a great little place and nice view over the River Dee.






Then it was time to move on, leave England behind us and head west for Wales…….and it wasn’t long until we arrived into our first destination, the small (very small) village of Llangollen http://www.llangollen.org.uk/ at the GreenBank B&B http://www.greenbank.uk.com/

After a nice rest & leisurely walk through the streets, we met up with friends Leigh & Kylie who live in Malpas (England) for a great dinner at the Corn Mill Restaurant http://www.cornmill-llangollen.co.uk/ leaning over the (swollen) River Dee.

A great start to the trip with great friends, good food and beautiful Wales scenery ahead…
