Uncle George's, Frog Manor and London.

We arrived in England last Friday, and after a long and exhausting flight (which was about 12 hours) we were very thankful that Holly's uncle George picked us up from the airport. We then had a long drive of around three hours back to his house which was in Crewe, but it was so beautiful out there we didnt really mind the long scenic drive, especially knowing we would soon be enjoying hot showers and more importantly real food!!!!

And boy did we eat, with the starters of hot crusty bread dipped in melted camembert cheese (that George's lovely girlfriend Elaine cooked for us), we then had vegetarian fajita's that were sooo good, not to mention about fifty cups of earl grey tea.

Early start the next morning and off to Wales, and boy was that worth it. George and Elaine drove us in to see the Conwy Castle which was just enourmous, photos will never do it justice. It was so old and so beautiful.

We also stopped off at Betsy-Corp (well thats not how you spell it but we couldnt remember) and here we had Welsch tea... It was amazing!! It was scones with jam and cream and welsch bread and this lovely little cake thing that were the highlight, they were just so good.

We drove back to George's house and quickly got ready to go out for our long awaited dinner, and this was probably one of the highlights of our trip so far. We were taken to a restaurant called Frog Manor. It was actually more like being in someones home. It was so crazy, we all sat in this sitting room which looked like the room of someones Grandmas house, it had a tv and lounges and was all crazy and cluttered. There were frogs everywhere (toy one's) hence the name Frog Manor. We chose from the most amazing menu as well, everything sounded sooo good it was too hard to choose. We also had to choose three courses which we have never done before. We ended up in a dining room with a big table that we all sat around and ate our delicious meals, and we really are not exaggerating, it was one of the best meals we have ever had! Thanks Uncle George!!
After our final sleep in a comfortable bed with our full stomach's we awoke early Sunday morning to prepare to head down to London and find our hostel.
The train ride was long and it took even longer finding it. We came into luck again as they had over booked so we got a room of our own.
We will be sure to update you all on our adventurous day in London as soon as possible!!!!
Missing everyone lots and lots and heading off to Scotland tomorrow.
Hope your all doing good we are about to head off to the pub and get some beer and food!!!
love Holly and Amanda!!
(and boy people sure arent lying when they say London is cold!!!!)
