Next week I'll visit Wales for five weeks! I'm totally excited and can't wait to go onto the ferry and see the white rocks of Dover on horizon
Last year I've been in the south of England, mostly Dartmoor, Exmoor and Cornwall and it was absolutely awesome! After these five weeks I fell in love with UK

But this time my aprents are afraid of the "swine flu" and didn't want to go to Wales ... I don't know why they are thta afraid of it but hopefully we'll spend our summer vacation in Wales ... where exactly we will be? I don't know, but in all probability in Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons.

Wales is always one of the places where I wanted to be, because of the breathtaking landscape having some parallels to Norway which is my greatest love

I hope you all have a great summer and a beautiful time!

UPDATE:
At the beginning we visited Oxford again and I really like it! All the beautiful colleges and so on look awesome. Unfortunately the sun couldn't be seen ... It was a really wet start of our trip.

Until now we have bee in the national park Brecon Beacons where I joined a day ride and this was the best things I've ever done in my total life! During 6 hours I've seen a breathtaking landscape. The best thing was the fact, that there weren't any cars oder fences ... just endless freedom. If yiu have the chance to do a day ride there, too: DO IT! Beginners are also able to join because it isn't that hard and the horses/ponys are really kind ones, not being hard to ride or totally 'strong-minded'.
For some information, have a look at this website: [link]
There are also some other stabels in the national park. Prices for a day ride mostly are between 50-60 pounds.
We also waled at the Waterfall-Trail, including beautiful places with small waterfalls. If you want to do a easy hike for one or twoe hours, then this would be the right thing to do.
There is also a coal-mines, showing how the life of the workers had been and you're alowed to have a look into the mines. A guide (mostly relatives of former workers) shows and tells you a lot of interesting things. At your trip you will need to war a helmet and a belt with a 5kg-lamp. After that there are some exhibitions and galleries giving more interesting details. And I have to mention: I doesn't cost a pence and is awesome if you don't know what to do on a rainy day!

Tmorrow we'll go to a camp site in Snowdonia, North-Wales.

I don't know when I'll be able to upload some art again ... I'm still working on some things, but never have the ambition to put enough details into them. I think, I'll need a litte break.

If our new campsite in Snowdonia has free Wi-Fi, I'll upload this journal.
