adrienne's Tour Diary

There's no direct way from South Wales to Wrexham, so we took the road leading to Heresford and then to Shrewsbury and got into Wrexham around 3 pm. Matt undoubtedly heard our diesel engine make its way up his street.

We watched a Darts championship on the BBC and ate the tasty pasta dinner Matt cooked up. There was a small debate as to whether we should take the van into Chester for Matt's guided tour or his car - G decided Matt's car was best. In Chester we walked along the Roman wall and saw the River Dee below. The streets were almost completely empty.

We returned to Wrexham and walked down the street to particpate in a pub quiz. Our party was too large for one team, so we split in two. Matt named our team 'Shock and Awe.' One of the toughest questions: "What is a group of bears called?" Answer: A sleuth. Who knew? Not us. Our two teams tied with 21 points each. We were asked by the young man who's writing next week's questions if we'd be back, as he said he'd include more American knowledge, but by next Monday we'll be in London.
