England Day 49: Hiking in Wales

Pictures from Wales HERE!!! :)

Saturday in Wales was simply beautiful. We woke up to a lovely sun shining day and went down for our continental breakfast. We then got packed some snacks and put on sunscreen and headed out to the Great Orme. We took a tram up to the top of the Great Orme where we got off and hiked around. We met a really nice older couple that told us a lot of the history of the Orme and chatted with us about why we were there. They were the nicest people. :)





After our chat, we headed out for our hike on the Orme. It was beautiful up there. Words can not even describe it. IT was so much fun walking up there and just relaxing. It actually felt like we were on vacation. We stopped on the edge and had a snack and took some cool shots. We then continued our hike and then took the tram back down the bottom. It was such a nice morning/afternoon.












When we were done with the hiking, we went to the pier and got some ice cream. We then walked up and down the pier and did a little shopping. While we walked along the pier and saw this placed called fab fish. It's a place where you get a pedicure from little tiny fish. It was the weirdest thing ever. The fish are tiny and they suck off all the dead skin on your feet. So we decided to do it. lol. It felt so weird on our feet, especially since a few of us our ticklish. I was freaking out for the first 5 minutes and then it was fine. It actually worked too! My feet were really soft.












After the Fab Feet, we went to beach to sit and relax and take in more scenery. We took some pictures on the beach and then headed back to our hostel to shower and change before going out for dinner. When we got back to the hostel, we noticed that one of the empty beds now had stuff on them but the person wasn't around. So one of our roommates was here but not around. While we were getting ready, another person came in that would be sharing the room. It was an older gentlemen named Paul. We were concerned at first being in a room with a guy but he was very kind and apparently goes to hostels all the time cause he's always traveling. So we finished getting ready and then headed out for dinner.






We went to this place called Weatherspoon. It was a beautiful restaurant that used to be an old theater. It was really gorgeous. And the food was cheap and really good. It was the perfect place to go for dinner. After dinner we decided to walk around town and stopped at a pub to relax and hang out. We sat around and talked for a while and had some heart to hearts before heading out again and going back to the beach. We decided to walk along the beach and in the water. It was a nice evening. We also took a lot of random jumping shots along the beach. It forever to get the pictures but it was funny trying to take them. lol.










After the jumping around, we went back to Weatherspoon to chill and get dessert. We meet some random guys that were interested in talking to us because they liked our accents. It was definitely interesting. And one of the guys told us that he loved the shows Sex in the City and Glee. Definitely funny. :)

When we were getting tired, we headed back to the hostel and quietly got ready for bed. Our two new roommates were already there and passed out so we went to the bathrooms to change and brush our teeth before crawling into bed. It was definitely a great day in Wales.

Cheerio.
