London

My last stop was London. For 25 days I traveled around Europe and everyday saw something new and amazing. Every place was beautiful in it's own way and I can't say which was my favorite or least favorite for this reason. I am grateful for the chance I had to travel as I did.

Off to Wales for some Family history

Ok so some complications going to Ireland made me choose to go to Wales instead. I chose Wales because of my ancestor the Prince of Wales. Unfortunately the Family scroll is missing at the moment so I can't find his exact name but being in the castle that could have belong to my possible ancestor was amazing.

This is the cruiseliner I got to go on from the Netherlands to London and from there I took a bus.
Though it was a little chilly I absolutely loved it!
The most interesting tree I've ever seen but they sure were pretty


The Castle of Cardiff



Inside the castle was simply breathtaking
There was so much cold and everything was 3D



The following day I went to a outdoor Welsh museum

The stairs to the ruins of another Castle



They had different areas and in each area showed how the villages changed over the centuries in the Welsh culture. Unfortunately I I dropped my camera in the water here and was unable to take more pictures of Wales. Luckily it came back to life in time for London...
