Yep, as you can see from the title, I'm starting to lose the ability to put effort into these blogs. Have no fear though, once I do finally get caught up, which WILL be by the end of this week, I will bounce back to my usual self, and come up with some more creative titles.. But as for now, this will have to suffice.
After my adventure on Sunday, I was ready to do a bit more exploring. So on Wednesday, my day off, I decided to take a train to the nearby town of Kidwelly and see the castle. Got dropped off at the tiny station (only because I told the conductor I needed to be) around 12 and made my way up the empty streets towards the castle off in the distance. Compared to Carmarthen, Kidwelly was tiny and desolate. I passed by only a few cafes and shops, but really, the castle was the only thing going for them.
The castle itself is one of the few Welsh castles in Wales (the rest were built by the Normans). I learned in my Welsh history course that a distinctive trademark of Welsh castles are that they were built in the shape of a "D." This was definitely the case here. Not only were the castle walls still intact, but the interiors of the castle were preserved as well! It was amazing!
Somehow though, despite the fact that I brought two cameras, I managed to drain the battery life out of both of them. Luckily for you however, my Kodak runs on double AAs, so I was able to buy a pack at the gift shop, and still get loads of pictures. I could try to explain all of it, but I think this blog would be better off as a picture blog. So here you go! Enjoy!
As much castle as I could fit in!
Again, from a different view.
