Getting From Conwy Wales to London England

October 5, 2019 by hollyGS

Here is an in depth video I made about the whole ordeal, but if you prefer the written version… I will outline that below! To start off, we did not intend on going to London on this trip, because accommodation and food can be so expensive!! We originally booked a round trip flight in and out of Dublin, Ireland with Airtransit, but about a month before the trip, Airtransit cancelled the return flight and said that there were no longer […]

Chester to Conwy WALES (by train)!!!

September 7, 2019 by hollyGS

It was sad to leave the beautiful city of Chester, although we were not sad to leave our accommodation (which we explain in this post). We decided that we would splash out a little bit of extra money and take the train all the way into Conwy, Wales. We booked our tickets ahead of time online through a website called trainline. They made me download the app to access my ticket. However, boarding the train was super easy, we just […]

York to Chester by bus | Northern England (Where not to stay)

August 11, 2019 by hollyGS

We decided it would be much more cost effective to take the bus from York to Chester for £27.60 (two people) , as opposed to take the train which was well over three times the price. We booked our tickets online with national express (bus) and received an email confirmation (that wasn’t even required to board the bus, they had a list with our booking on it). The bus left the stop just opposite the York train station (#RJ) at […]
