My Experience:
1. Since it was a long weekend we decided to do a roadtrip to wales. We started at 10 AM and after initial glitches with tomtom (GPS) we finally hit the motorway around 11.30 AM. It takes some time to adjust to use GPS. Finally we reached Bath around 3.00 PM and it was little bit cloudy.
2. I should say Bath is a very beautiful city. The landscapes before entering the city and the central city was so good. We went to the roman baths which is a natural warm water spring and its been well preserved till date. The early engineering used by romans were just amazing to see.
3. Then we left for Cardiff. We reached cardiff around 8.00 PM and we stayed in a youth hostel. The hostel was right before the Wales millenium stadium and it was a too good experience. We did pub hoping and it was so much fun drinking till early hours.
4. Next day we went to local market and had some breakfast. In the local markets you meet lot of countryside people and its nice to meet new people. We started at around 11 AM to Dolgellau. The drive from cardiff to dolgellau through lot of hills was simply good. Finally reached dolgellau around 7 PM and we stayed in a country side hostel. Actually it was a camp site with some dorms.
5. We decided to do some walking around dolgellau town and we dint see anybody in the road. Then we went to a pub which had live music and it was so much fun. The whole people in the town was in the pub.
6. Next day morning we started to snowdonia one of the highest mountain in wales. We saw lot of tourists on snowdonia and lot of people were hiking. Mountain railway is a famouns thing in snowdonia but there were no tickets for the whole day. We did the electric mountain trip which is a visit to one of europes biggest hydroelectric powerstation. That experience was so good and thrilling.
7. In the afternoon we started to London and reached in the evening.
