We spent the morning on the coach as we headed from Scotland to Wales. We stopped in the town of Chester, England for lunch. We were supposed to tour the town, but again it was raining. Since the tour wasn't guided and we were going to have quite a walk into the city from where the coach parked, we decided to forego the tour and continue on to Wales.
If I was to admit it, we were all a little depressed because we were going to be giving up our favorite coach driver since arriving - Kyle. The students loved him. He is from Northern Ireland and joked and teased the students. He interacted with them more than most drivers do. I do have to say, just in case Bruce reads this, that while Kyle was awesome, he doesn't quite measure up to Bruce White, our driver when I was in Australia a couple of years ago. It would take a miracle to out-rank him.
Once in Wales, we said farewell to Kyle. Our accommodations were changed from what we were expecting, which was University dorms at Bangor University. Instead we were put up in a hotel. Since Kyle left and we didn't get a new driver until the next day, students had some "chill" time. The hotel had a nice common area students can gather as well as free wifi internet. So some stayed inside and did the electronic thing, while others went outside and played frisbee.
Tomorrow - Full On day. Breaking boards and abseiling down a castle wall!
