Chester

 Chester

After a tour of Scotland, we saw the Lake District....unfortunately we never went to see Beatrix Potter's farmhouse which was a great disappointment to me. We stayed in Chester one night. As you can see it is a very old city (established in 1541). Some things in England are so old that it is hard to wrap your head around. The city is on the River Dee (love that). Next was Wales and then on to Holyhead to catch the ferry to Ireland.

 Honestly, it rained almost everyday for the whole 3 weeks we were there. Some days it was torrential. In fact, I was watching a TV show recently and they were mentioning a river in England that flooded and said that the last time it reached that level was 2007. This was June into July...ugh!
