Middle Wales

First day on the motorbike trip to Ireland - 9 days loop around the
whole coast of Ireland, North and South.

Of course, first we have to get there so Steve planned a scenic drive
through middle Wales for the first day. It turned out to be one of
our best motorbiking days ever! Best days consist of two things,
great roads for Steve and great scenery for me - we had an abundance
of both!

The part of Wales that we went through was some of the most beautiful
country we'd ever been through - very 'Middle Earth' (although I am
informed it's like Mordoor in the rain). As beautiful as the Alps,
but in a greener, rolling hills way.

We stayed the night at the Highland Moors B&B in Llandrindod Wells, an
old Welsh spa town and had a surprisingly good Chinese for dinner and
an excellent (excellent!) breakfast.

Wales Rendezvous

We were invited to a James Bond night at Steve's work in Wales. Got all dressed up in our eveningwear and definitely looked the part. However once we got all dressed up, we realised we didn't actually want to go to a big party. Change of plans!

Instead we had a romantic dinner for two at the Celtic Manor, the gourmand tasting menu with wines to match. A lovely quiet evening, just the two of us!
