Driving adventures, or how did we get here????
We are in North Wales - what a beautiful part of the world!
Beth has been a trooper with driving - the "other side of the road" hasn't been nearly as scary as the roundabouts, and now we are into Single Track Road driving. Our first encounter with another vehicle where one of us had to decide who was going to back up to the nearest layby started with us backing up...but we were going so slowly that after about 5 minutes the other car honked at us, waved and started backing up instead. And didn't look terribly impressed with Katherine blew a kiss as a thank-you...
Our scariest adventure in driving was in Conwy, an old, old, walled town near Anglesey. Very beautiful. However...GPS, or SatNavs are limited in their ability to get us where we want to go. We were looking for a parking lot near Marine Drive and ended up going through a teeny-tiny gate (lucky Beth had found the button to close in the side mirrors), into what looked like a pedestrian only section where people were lined up to see the Smallest House in Britain. We thought we got ourselves into a place where we were definitely not supposed to be - at least while still inside the car! Fortunately we did not have to try and turn around, because the path led us through another teeny tiny gate and back through town.
Where we found a different parking lot.
This is the gate we drove through and the one we drove back out of. The car is definitely wider that Clare.
