Our Day in Llangollen






C: We drove the boat over to Llangollen, and then as soon as we possibly could, we got on the Llangollen railway, and went through a bunch of countryside, and the first long tunnel we went through was extremely unpleasant because there was smoke all over the place. It smelled like sulphur, because it was coal smoke. The train did not look unlike the Hogwarts Express. In fact, the only difference was that it was dark green instead of red, and it said Foxcoat Manor, instead of Hogwarts Castle. The cars inside either had compartments with hallway on the side, or many tables, with the hallway in the middle. We were unable to find an empty compartment, so we took a table. After the ride, we went up into the engine, and saw all of the different instruments and stuff, and it was very hot, and was very hot on my eyes, so we left after a little while. The fire was coal fired and there was a huge tender filled with big old lumps of coal.

Later, we went around town and went to an attic sale and I got a Weet-Bix truck, for 2 GBP. And then, for dinner, after walking around the town, we found a place that served us way too much. I had steak pie, K had chicken nuggets, Mom had Ploughman’s Lunch, and Dad had veggie lasagna.

And this ends our blog.
