Llangollen Canal


Boy Bev's fast!! We only took and sent this photo a couple of hours ago!! We took a horse-drawn barge ride down the canal this afternoon. A lovely ride as you can see by the bridge. Our horse looked a little bored but I guess when you do this day in and day out it can get a bit routine!! When we stopped to turn the ropes around for the return trip, the horse kept walking! He went a bit farther down the path, had a bite of grass then wandered back to be retied!
We have had a Welsh afternoon tea (much like all the rest except we had whipped cream with our scones instead of clotted cream) and are going back to the B&B to pick up the car and head out to Horseshoe Pass - a recommended scenic site and slate quarry. Mom's souvenir request is a piece of slate?! That should pack well and add to their already heavy suitcases!!
