I noticed, that riding the steep hills with a packed bike everyday is not so much fun. Sometimes I'm tired after 10k because it took me an hour to do it. On the other hand I really like hilly areas. So I decided to take the train for the hilliest routes. From Brecon which is a very beautiful small town, I had a day tour through great landscape to Builth Wells where the next train station was. From far I could hear loud rock music and I realised that there was a motorbike festival going on. My requests for staying overnight weren't answered and I worried a bit that everything is fully booked. I kept calling the campsites and in the end I found a nice spot in the forest. They told me that also elves lives in there.
The next day I took the train (buying a train ticket online is a story itself) but sitting in the train and watching the breathtaking scenery was like watching a great movie. In the evening I stayed at the campsite at the beach near Porthmadog. I had a little walk arroud and met some nice people making a fire in a cave. We spend the evening together and enjoyed the warmth of the campfire. Thanks Kerry and the guys for this great time.
After my daily breakfast (cereals with hot water and banana) I cycled to Caernarfon. That is a nice town with a huge castle and a lovely hostel where a stayed for the night. It is very interesting because in this area they all speak Welsh but I already forgot what they taught me, it is too complicated.
