Wales--UK Adventure Part II
Perfectly enchanting. That's what I think of when I remember Wales. On the second leg of our journey we visited the northern area of Snowdonia and stayed in a town called Caernarfon. It had everything you could want--fish and chips, a castle, and a beautiful countryside. What more could you ask for?
And yes, the people really did speak Welsh, which is nothing like English. Like I said, enchanting.
See for yourself.

That's right, the Welsh word for Prime Minister is "Prif Weinidog." Nice.
