UnitedKingdom – #GoGetterGals

I’ve been so busy my time in Wales and England flew by! We arrived in Paris this morning and I’m very excited to explore this new place. It’s the first one where, as an English speaker, I feel a little bit out of my element. But more on that later, I want to share some pictures from the past week. There is just so much to show I need to break it up into two segments. This post will be of Wales, the next post of England.

Caernarfon, Wales:

In Chepstow the tide goes out 30+ feet!

High tide in Chepstow- a truly dramatic difference

The view from our hike to Devil’s Pulpit looking down on Tintern Abbey. It was said the Devil would stand here on the hillside and try to lure the monks away.
