We drove into Snowdonia pretty much on a whim. On the way to Capel Curig we passed a small castle with peacocks in the dim gloom, we passed small shopfronts and many closed stores. We passed small, cared for houses, and I learned that 'araf' means 'slow' because I saw it everywhere.
Snowdonia was thrilling. I have never been in mountains before. I've only really seen them from a distance. Or skirted around the edges of them in Tasmania. Snowdonia was the first time we drove straight into them, and then drove up one, down another, and so on. It was also kind of terrifying to this person who literally lives in a giant state with zero mountains, and awe-inspiring, and reminded me a lot of my cancer, because the only instruction you're basically given re: this cancer is 'to not live at altitude.'
So I wondered if even visiting mountains for a day would make the tumours grow. I actually still don't know. I don't think so.












I like the small wiggling lines of fencing you can see in this shot.




Next, the hilariously terrible experience that was Liverpool, visiting family, and then oh god, Scotland, I cannot wait to share Scotland, this is only the tip of the iceberg, we're not even a third of the way through the trip yet. x.x (I'm sorry everyone).
