Travelog for: Gwennie

Today, we come to a hands-on science/engineering musuem near the historic town of Ironbridge.

Here, this exhibit shows the water cycle.

There are information computers with a remote to be pointed at the ? - there's a crash test dummy, still and motion picture cameras, pianola, ..

This is a tessellation puzzle.

Can we do this one?

How does this look?

More exhbits - another pianola, an engine, bellows...

bicycle powered pump, meccano rollercoaster...

dentist chair...

There is a sports exhibition. Imagine riding this bicycle...

A swimsuit..

Howzat!

Football boots, a few decades old...

A drill...

A small ball exhibit thing, with conveyor belts, scoops,...


Back to the puzzles again...

Do you like our Tangram Candle?

A "recycling" machine thing.



A boat

What's inside a teddy bear?

or a guitar?

or a turntable?
Anyway, it is an amazing place but unfortunately, they are closing for the day so we have to leave...

It is a beautiful day for a walk.


There's a funny stone structure over there...

I think we'll be going to look at it.

The rock "cliff" on the left is Over Owler Tor, I think.

There it is, Mother Cap I think is its name.

This is a funny looking rock! It has a smiley face!

We are looking out of the window at the big wide world. Some of us are leaving for new adventures.

Bon Voyage and take care.

Tomorrow is Bonfire Night, but there are some bonfires and fireworks display tonight.

We have come to this big bonfire manned by the fire brigade.

My host did take some photos of fireworks with us, but she can't see us in them (we are too dark), so here is one we saw!

Today is another nice day. We have come to Ty^ (the ^ is above the y) Hyll, The Ugly House near Betws-y-Coed.


The house is currently closed but the gardens are open.

This is the back of the house.

And the view across the road. The house was reputed to have been built overnight in order to claim the land.

We stopped off in Betws-y-Coed to get refreshments. We parked on the other side of the river and had to walk across the bridge.

Tonight is bonfire night, and we've come to a fireworks display

My host took many photos of fireworks with us and without us but she can't see us in any (it was too dark) when she looked through them on the computer. This is one we saw.

We've come back to near Betws-Y-Coed. There's a geocache near here... I wonder where it could be!

I wonder where it could be!

A little waterfall...

This is Miners Bridge.

The view down the river.

The view up the river.

Next, we went a couple of mile on the other side of Betws Y Coed to Conwy Falls.

It was a pleasant walk to the falls.

And we walked a different way back.

It was getting late, we caught this dusk view of Snowdon on the way home.

Today, we, that is us toyvoyagers and prospective travellers, welcomed a new visitor, Mr Wilson.

Today, we came to Denbigh to do some geocaching. The day wasn't that great for many photos...

we found this cache...

Then we found this "police car" in a little green bag hidden in a tree quite near the police station!

Hi Mum,
Today, we went out for lunch in Menai Bridge

and then walked over Menai Suspension Bridge to the bus stop.

There is a second bridge that crosses the Menai Straits. Can you see the Britannia Bridge?

We had a look out over the bridge on the other side. Beaumaris is in the distance, as is Bangor Pier though barely visible in this picture.

Somewhere in this picture, there is a very sneaky geocache that my host had found a previous occasion.

This is the bridge from the mainland.

Today, new ToyVoyager tags arrived. We gathered around them with the prospective travellers...  They looked excited... Who will be chosen to go on an exciting adventure around the world?

Today is also the day Clyde leaves for pastures new. Wil miss you my dear brother!

We've come to the allotments

These are nice looking leeks.

This cabbage looks nice.

We are going for a little walk.

We've come to a sandy place near Conwy.

There's an island out there in the distance.

That's me!

No words needed!

We found a geocache and this is a travel bug.
