Days 5 and 6

There are two things everyone should bring when traveling to Europe
1) a washcloth
2) a flat sheet

Apparantly no one out here believes in washcloths. The smallest towel available in any hotel is about twice the size of a handtowel. Also, there are no flat sheets on the beds out here, just a fitted sheet and a duvet.
I am tired of traveling. The thing that sticks out most in my mind right now about the past two days is the bus.
Day 5 we woke up at 5:45 so we could catch the morning ferry from Dublin to Holyhead, Wales. I am so glad I managed to sleep the whole time because almost all the students felt sick and one poor kid threw up like 3 times.
Our first stop in Wales was a town called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwryndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (not kidding, real name). The name means "the church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave". If the restaurant Marie Calendar's formed a country, it would resemble this town. I am sure everyone there was around 200. Nice town.
After the town, we went into Snowdonia National Park. It was absolutely breathtaking. It was where Sr. Edmund Hillary trained for his Everest ascent (he was the first man to summit Everest). We don't have many photos because you are not allowed to stop on the road. Kyle and I are already planning to go back and hike there someday.
After Snowdonia we went to some town (cannot remember the name) where we stayed the night.

Day 6 was another long travel day. We visited Anne Hathaway's cottage (not the actress, Shakespeare's wife) and then went into the town of Stratford upon Avon (we are in England at this point) to see the birthplace of Shakespeare. Next, we stopped in Oxford to get a quick tour of the town and the University. After that we drove into London. The trip has been a little frustrating because we have so little time at these stops and have to really rush through the sites. It's hard for our students to have time to get many pictures, and we are all tired of being on that d*mn bus. I am taking dramamine constantly to avoid getting sick and it makes me so tired that all I want to do is sleep.
Tomorrow we go sightseeing in London and then have free time to go shopping!!
