I am in Wales. This might be the smallest room I've ever been in, but it's my home for four nights.
The roads are narrow, the towns are hilly, and one word to describe Wales? Majestic.
One word for Ireland is Magical.
I was expecting Wales to be really rural and it is, but the beautiful countryside makes it less lonely than I thought.
Ireland is ten times less lonely than I thought because high hedges and houses fill the narrow roads, you feel like there's someone living nearby on 90% of the places you drive, even the rural areas. Someone's gotta tend to those grazing cattle.
The land is divided so specifically with stone walls and hedges you feel Ireland is efficient with space, it's almost reassuring.
Welsh castles are mighty.
In Ireland I could photograph a castle in an hour or two.
Wales? Forget it. Plan for a whole day (if you're a photo freak like I am). These are massive, and technically they're English castles. Full of passageways and courtyards and -suspension bridges? Well, that was added later (at Conwy Castle) but it looks majestic nonetheless.
"Siege this castle, my Lord?"
Gosh I'm a dork, haha.
