Rain rain go away..please come back another day..

Wales was not in the list where I intended to go in the beginning. With some persuasion, I did it finally. Picture tells how this lovely and peaceful place takes you away from the bustling city. It could be a nice place for a day or weekend trip with friends and family. I could be sure that I wouldn't want that life being a city person.

It was indeed a day filled with showers. Could be a mood spoiler but it was ok. No complains about the weather again. This was the street when Gauhar and I 'again' heard and saw with our own eyes with crimes around the UK. Scary truth is that we were walking on streets during the 1 hour stop by at Gloucester City, 'shop lifter, shop lifter' is all we heard from a women screaming. Apparently a guy just ran out with 2 bottles of wine from a shop and then left it back on the street. Wonder did he do that on purpose or whatsoever. Nevertheless, he was caught definately. Is that a game? Perhaps he knew that he couldn't run anywhere further since everyone in the street could recognise him. His gestures gave me a fright and I did hold onto Gauhar for some relieve.

Another 45 minutes of drive we finally arrive to this Tintern Abbey, a church that was abandoned many centuries ago. Marks of burnt left over was believed to be caused by black magic. This huge church was really big! Nothing much can be seen inside, besides its beautifully crafted architecture.







The entire view of the church.




Then off we went to Chepstew City. Small city with minor community living at this very place. A wedding car just passed by. An adorable one too. :)
Castles everywhere in the United Kingdom. Why on earth they have so many castles?





Indeed a quiet and small country side. Recommended for countryside lovers, green protectors and environmental minded people. For those who like to live in this area, very welcome..you will enjoy the benefits and accounted for privelages living by the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean.
