To get to Llangollen (which is in Wales) we needed to take a trip via ferry from Dublin. As we arrived at the ferry terminal there were six private buses waiting there too....we later found out that this was Bruce Springsteen!!! Tony our fantastic, brilliant, extremely funny tour director tweeted Bruce hoping for a little show on our bus but later found out it was the wrong Bruce :( (Ed; which 'Bruce' was it....? Willis, Lee, Dern or Forsyth??!)
Our 3 1/2 hour ferry trip came to and end as we arrived at the Holyhead port.
To get to Llangollen we travelled through the beautiful Dee Valley. Stopping very shortly in the town with the longest name!! Come-on you try to say that!! (Here's a link to hear how it's said! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bd/Cy-Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch_%28Welsh_pronunciation%2C_recorded_17-05-2012%29.ogg)
Once to Llangollen some of us decided to take a steam train trip outskirts of Corwen. The Llangollen railway is a volunteer run railway. It is currently the longest preserved line in Wales.
For dinner we returned into town to the Corn Mill where I had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
