Charming North Wales and Snowdonia

Iberian Peninsula Tour
Charming North Wales and Snowdonia
22th July - 24th July, 2005
 
Another HOST experience, I spend an unforgettable weekend in the charming North Wales and Snowdonia. My SONY camera suddenly out of order with no reason in Liverpool and stop to function any more. It is just bought last year! But I am lucky I stayed with the family of photographers - Kirstin, Rhodri and lovely Gwion. I enjoyed many nice photos by them when I just arrived in Conwy. They offered a spare one for me so that I could keep all the beautiful moments here:) The scenary of north Wales and Snowdonia is really out of my expectation with all the best combination of mountains, lakes, castles, historical buildings, rivers, waterfalls and yachts ... Just enjoy some of my pictures! I really need to rush for my disertation now...
