The North Coast 500 road trip was rather a last-minute decision of mine. We didn’t have much planned for last year school summer holidays as we went to Australia for two months in February 2019. The farthest I have ever been to Scotland is Inverness so I got my planning […]
A few years ago, on a four-day family trip around Anglesey, we visited Llandwyn Island or Ynys Llandwyn in Welsh. Llandwyn Island, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful places in Wales. We came upon this beautiful place almost by chance. For some reason or other, I have always […]
