Okay, I have been seriously behind with this posting thing.
So here is a recap of a visit I made, with the rest of the international students at Edge Hill University.
On the first Saturday that we were on campus, we went to Conwy Wales to see the Conwy Castle. Yes I did spell it right, it is Conwy, not Conway.
It was a great experience, well it would have been amazing if one little piece of important information was told to me before we got there. There would be an admissions charge. Well yeah I suspected that, but what I wasn't told was that we would need to pay that. I was told a free trip to Conwy Castle, I assumed that meant free entry as well. I didn't know this, if I did, I would have saved for it if I was informed earlier. So I wasn't able to do a tour of the castle, but I got a free ride to Conwy. It would have been an all time high light in my books while in the UK, but since I couldn't go up I will still rank it in my top 10.
Although I will say that the liaison to the American office did offer to buy me a ticket to see the castle. I just didn't think it would have been right for me to take her up on that since I wouldn't really get the chance to pay her back. I don't like to leave debts unpaid so... Yeah, I turned it down, so no more bitching on my part about that.
The weather was pretty cold that day, but that couldn't be helped. My friend and I walked around Conwy all day and just enjoyed ourselves. We did stay in the cafe for a while, mainly because it got a little too cold at times. Still it was a great experience. I will go back and to the tour later, but as it was. A free trip, a nice experience, a beautiful city and scenic coach ride.
