Our Visit to Wales

Our trip to Liverpool involved a tour with Busy Bus. We decided that visiting places made famous by the Beatles was not as interesting as visiting  Wales

As you read in the summary we had many places to cover.

But they did it backwards. Our first major stop was the aqueduct. This is quite the engineering feat and it was very interesting to see. I gather there are many canals and many little barges of this type. You can rent them like you would rent a motor home and travel over many areas of Wales.

We had just left to viaduct when a stem TRAIN came along. Ken was thrilled.

As lunch we stopped at Betwsy y coed which is the capital. We had lunch here and saw some of the town. Here we toured the beautiful old St.Mary’s church.

Next we drove into the country side, visiting Snowdonia National Park.. Wales is rugged with lots of rocks and hills. It was a misty almost rainy day but our guide said it was a hundred percent better than the day before when it poured and you could see little or nothing.

It was almost dark and the castle was closed when we finally arrived at Conwy so we saw very little of the castle .

There was a rush to get back to the ship on time.

All in all it was not the best tour ever and it was not at all as described.

There was NOT a guide, the driver had to do it all

There was not ample room on the bus, we were quite crowded. It was 8 couples on a 15 seater bus.

There were not lots of freebies or games or such fun.

We did get to see some different things and we saw a great deal of the Wales country side. But I would not recommend Busy Bus.
