Snowdon!

This is my "I'm sick" outfit. I got the sweater from my mum's friend's mum before I left for Wales. It's really fluffy and warm and comfy. How did I catch cold? By going on an amazing hike to the top of Snowdon, that's how :D

We left Aber at 8 in the morning, and headed north. I think we went from somewhere close to Llyn Cwellyn. Then we went on top of one mountain...





...and after walking down, we had lunch before heading up Snowdon. It was a rough trip, and I can feel in my bum that I joined the hard group. Honestly, I think it's trying to kill me everytime I get up! We walked up a rather steep path and did our share of climbing.

The view was great, but there was a lot of fog, and sadly, we didn't get to see a lot of it. The moutain in the front here is the first one we climbed.

It also rained a bit, and it turns out that my waterproof clothing is only waterproof from the inside out :S Which  means I got rather wet and never dried up.

Finally we reached the top of Snowdon! There was a café there and a souvenir shop, so we warmed up a bit before heading back down.



When we reached Llanberis, we went into a nice restaurant and got ourselves food, something hot to drink and a change of clothes. I bought a coco, small size, but MAN, it had a mountain of delicious whipped cream, marshmallows and a chocolate! This polish girl got the big size.





Turns out that here in Britain, it's common to eat chips (fries) with cheese, and you can also get chips sandwiches:

Yeah, you heard me right, chips sandwiches. It's more common than you'd think!

I've been fighting a "fresher's flu" this whole week, but this wet trip was the "nail to the coffin" as we'd say in Norway. So instead of going outside (except for food and lectures) I've finally gotten around to rearranging my bedroom and getting some posters on the wall. I'll take a picture when my room is less messy. I'll clean it before Mum and Dad comes to visit by the end of the week...
