Albert's Adventures in Wales Pt. 3

So, it turns out I didn't actually write a post covering the last half of our adventures overseas this summer, so I might as well finish it now.

Blaenavon Iron Works - I would also have pictures of Pwll Mawr (Big Pit), but they didn't let me take pictures of the depths of the coal mine. For some reason flash in a black pit is hazardous.

Welsh National Library

Harlech Castle

Criccieth Castle

Walking in the Clouds

On top of Mt. Snowdon

A sheep on Snowdon. Albert got to snack.

The smallest house in Britain actually occupied by real people at one point.

From the walls of Conwy Castle

Eating vanilla slice at the statue of Llewelyn in Conwy

Beaumaris Castle - The put up handrails to keep me off the edge of anything I wanted to be on

Commonly called Llanfair P.G.

Bryn Celli Ddu on the Isle of Anglesey.

Welcome to the Fairy World (Location: Llanberis, North Wales)

Dolbadarn Castle - a fine example of a true Welsh Castle

That says Welsh Slate Museum

The Wool Pit - Stacks on Stacks of Wool

Penrhyn Castle - a fine example of why some people shouldn't have a lot of money.

The coolest part of the whole styleless castle was this sweet tree.

Flint Castle - Not really made of a lot of flint.

Llandaff Cathedral - part of it got blown up in WWII by a falling land mine. Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

The mighty Celtic Torc. In the building shown below. That's like 2 kilos of solid gold.

The British Museum (so many hours of awesome). Afterwards we went and saw The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night.

The Gadfield Elm Chapel which happens to be the oldest purpose built LDS chapel in the world.

Benbow Pond, where some of the early LDS baptisms in Britain took place.

York Minster

On a hilarious note, the A in Grape used to be a different vowel to denote the type of activity and profession that could be found in this part of York.

Albert wanted a picture at York Minster with Emperor Constantine

I don't remember the name of this abbey, but it was pretty cool looking. We stopped to use the restroom.

Edinburgh Castle

The Harry Potter series began in this cafe. And I write that intentionally without a diacritical mark.

What's in the pie, Albert? Oh, right, haggis, neeps, and tatties.

The Preston LDS temple.

And then, after packing up and going to the airport, Albert, Erasmus, and I shared this delicious Cadbury chocolate with honeycomb candy bar that we got from the vending machine in Dublin.

And there you have it. A brief overview of everything Albert and I did this summer as we traveled throughout the United Kingdom.
