Aug 11, 2009 - Heading to Walish Country

We woke up early (well for us holidayers it was early) to say goodbye to Judith and Corinne as they headed out the door for work. As we came into Wales and then later into Swansea we watched the Welsh mountains come into view. ... Now these aren't really mountains in Canadian standards but they were very impressive after all the farm fields we had passed through.We woke up early (well for us holidayers it was early) to say goodbye to Judith and Corinne as they headed out the door for work.

Canyoning; a. But did I mention it was beautiful? The morning sun crept through the trees, peeking onto the shallow waters and illuminating the unbelievably clear, fresh water beneath us, filled with bright red sandstones. ... The smell was constant, of the nature of the pleasant aroma you immediately sense when you step out of the car and onto the campsite in the Rocky's or even Lake Carlblackwell - smokey, woody campfires waiting for smores to be made.Canyoning; a.
