*three things that make me smile: an exercise in gratitude – feel free to steal this idea with wild abandon and fill your blog with the happy*
Hello everyone! During our road trip in Wales, we stayed in caravans and cabins. All 8 of us in one caravan is such a squeeze – 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, a terrace, a shower and a toilet. As my sister said, she felt she was on a boat – floating! We had fun, though, it was a big caravan site, with supermarket, gym, swimming pool, playground and bars. We stayed there for 2 nights while we visited Lllandudno, Beddgelert, Colwyn Bay and Llanberis.
And for something really adventurous, we stayed in cabins in the middle of a forest. It’s got a tree house, 3 cabins, a sauna, outside bath, shower, creek at the bottom and the whole forest to ourselves. It was quite hard to find it, like looking for a treasure hunt, we followed the instructions, complete with never-ending mountains in the middle of Wales, one-lane gravel lanes and nature galore to our delights. It was really a wonderful place for our road trip. We were able to visit Snowdon, Lake Vyrnwy and Pistyll Rhaeadr.
As part of our forest adventure, we also enjoyed the tree house there. It has two beds (but because there was no heater, no one wanted to sleep there, but we just hanged around the next morning), got a lovely view of the the forest, some weird stuff around, a sink, radio and an electric kettle.

What you call a caravan, we would call a trailer. Interesting! Love the odd decorations in the tree house! Glad you enjoyed your trip!

That place in the woods looks exactly like a place our family would love to vacation! It looks lovely and quite different from normal cabin life.

It looks like you had a lot of fun! Wow, you must all be slender – 8 in one caravan! The cabin looked fun too – yes that’s how it is in Europe when you like to find something (a treasure hunt:) ). One time we did that in Poland and we ended up 30 km. further, because everyone we asked said, “Oh, it’s further down this road:):)
Many thanks for sharing your great vacation with SEASONS! Hope to see see you back next week! Have a lovely week:)

Looks like a lot of fun. The cabin in the woods would have been really nice. Bubblebaths are fun. Not so sure I liked the scary looking face in that one shot.
