Holiday plans - Wales, I'm coming!

[wiseheart]

Or so I hope. We went to the tourist office with Mum today to pay the first half of our package holidays. Well, almost half of the price, which means we'll be broke for the next, oh, six months or so, but what a way to go!

In any case, it'll be an 11-day-trip by bus right at the beginning of August, and aside from such places as Dover, Canterbury, Oxford, Stratford, and of course, London, it will take us to Wales as well. I'll post the programme later, but let's just say that many of the places, both in England and Wales, ring very familiar, due to the Cadfael books. Shrewbury itself isn't in it, but Stonehenge is, so the whole thing is made of the win.

The only place I could live without is Liverpool (I'm so not interested in the Beatles), but every package holiday contains one programme that I would rather forget, so it's not such a big deal. Now, let's hope that Mum will stay as strong and healthy as she is now, and that nothing happens to me, either, and it will be an unforgettable trip.

On a different note, I've got new, shiny Merlin iconsssesss, yesss, Precious, I doesss!

Is there any chance that your one night would be in Caernarfon or Llandudno? If so, even if there isn't time to catch a local bus service, I might be able to organize something, just for the three of us - find someone to drive us
Did Cadfael go to Aber ? i know that his author went to Pen Y Bryn - her work was hugely helpful in persuading the University to authenticate the house, when Katherine was fighting a lone battle

Yes, Cadfael did go to Aber. He and Brother Mark spent a few days in Owain's court before continuing their way to Bangor, to visit the Bishop there.

We don't know yet where exactly the accommodations will be. The travel agency give us the addresses a week or so before the trip.
