Holiday 2011

So, we're not long back from a week away to Wales. And since we were in the Campervan I thought I'd include it here.

We nearly didn't make it. We set off on a Friday evening for a three hour drive to where Mum & Dad's caravan is in West Wales and we get about half an hour away from home and the bloody turbo pipe pops off again :(

Mark tries to fix it at the side of the road, gains a burn or two in the process and declares we need a longer section of pipe and jubilee clips that aren't made of paper. Since one of the Jubilee clip broke we turned around and headed (slowly) for home. While en route, an invite from Matt & Leanne to camp on their drive (obviously after consuming some alcohol!) meant we were still able to claim to be "On holiday"!

So, we stopped with them, drank a lot of wine, laughed a lot and generally had a fabulous night! Thanks so much guys, you saved our holiday, we really appreciate it and love you loads xx

Saturday morning meant a slow meander to Demon Tweeks in Wrexham for replacement pipe (silicon this time) and decent clips. Mark fixed the van on the car park and we were off! Hoorah!!

We then proceeded to spend the week as planned - lazing between Aberystwyth, Aberaeron and New Quay. We found a few new drinking establishments since the last time we were there and had a lovely relaxing week.

We also spent a day going on the Rheidol narrow gauge railway up to Devil's Bridge where we did both walks and enjoyed the views of the Mynach falls. Oh, and, of course, ice cream! (Well, we are on holiday!)

Here's some pics, hope you enjoy them.

Some views from my window on the journey, including one where tom tom had no idea where he was!
	Parked on the Harbour at Aberystwyth
Some views of New Quay. We were very lucky with the weather. Everyday we dutifully watched the weather and it said it would be wet and windy, and everyday it was lovely!
	There are dolphins in New Quay harbour, unfortunately I'm not a top photographer and this is the best shot i could get!! XD
