Fly & Drive Wales en Engeland

About the destination: Of all European capitals, London lives deepest in the imagination of travelers. We absorb London before we know it exists and when we finally approach the city, it does not disappoint. There are the red double-deckers, the bobbies and impassive guards at Buckingham, Westminster Abbey, and the notes of Big Ben, sounding familiar, as we have heard them before. We see these things with satisfaction. Yet there is much to surprise. London is not quaint. London is not a museum, though you could spend all of your time going from one to the next. It is a booming, urban sprawl, with traffic snarls, shops, and an astonishing international population. Visit the many monuments with nearly a millennium's worth of history, from the grave of Chaucer to the pub where the captain of the Mayflower drank to Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most photographed sights. But don’t miss contemporary London, with its intensely active theatres, international cuisine, political demonstrations, the latest in music and fashion, punks and peers, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, and the phrase is still true. There's something different to experience every day in London.

Both the castle and the Town walls are a World Heritage Site with the castle itself being one of the most impressive examples of mediaeval military architecture that you will find. The Medieval town walls are still standing and can be walked along. There are some wonderful pictures to be taken here. Today Conwy is only invaded by tourists and is a busy town with nice shops and many ancient buildings that sit comfortably among more recent builds, there is a lot of things to see and do. This magical town is certainly one of the gems of The United Kingdom.
