My weekend on the Welsh-English border

O my goodness it was soooo amazing I loved the experience so much. So my weekend went like this....i took the trains on Friday to Chepstow which i realized was my first time on a train then when i get there the bus they told me would be there wasn't so i had to walk around to a Tesco to ask for directions, didn't help at all cause i couldn't understand them, so i walked over to the tesco gas station to ask for directions to the bus stop. They told me that there were no buses and the only way up there was a taxi and there was a driver there that wanted to charge me 20 quid to take me 7 miles, but there was a saint of a man there that gave me a ride without charging me. So i get to the Hostel and ITS A CASTLE, St. Briavel's Castle as a matter of fact. On to the next day I went for a 6 mile walk along the Welsh-English border through a valley until i reached Tintern....WAIT i forgot I also wanted to get off the main road for a while so i saw a footpath that went right next to the road for a while, I ended up coming upon an old stone wall and then getting caught in a thorn patch..o on with the story. So the West Entrance which is the most iconic side of the abbey was under review so the entire thing was covered by scaffolding so you couldn't see anything sooo upsetting but the rest was still amazing...look for the pictures to be coming soon..alright then I took a bus back to chepstow and got on the train...not really as hard to find as i thought it was...and I came back to London FUNNNNN!!!
