In the Dragon's Lair!! (North Part)

In and around Wales, United Kingdom

"Cymraeg Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi Gwlad beirdd a chantorion enwogion o fri Ei gwrol ryfelwr, gwlad garwyr tra mad Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed. Gwlad Gwlad, Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad, Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau"

There is a lot of strange things about Wales.

  1. There's no other country in the world with a Dragon on his flag!
  2. You can try to read welsh but nothing will ever mean anything to you!
  3. There's more castle by square feet (kind of...)
  4. There's 11 000 000 sheeps for 3 t000 000 people!
So it was normal for a guy like me to go try my luck with the sheep!
Excerpt from my Lonely Planet : "In many ways, Wales is just what you picture it to be: rolling moorlands, glaciated mountain areas, mellifluous male-voice choirs, tongue-twisting place names, Rugby Union, 'Bread of Heaven', romantic castles, people with querying lilts, cheese on toast and old mining towns."
Did they forgot about the sheeps...? I will not I can assure you!
