We arrived and I couldn't believe it, oh my.... how marvellous, my mate Oscar Baxter was there with his Mum and Dad!
It sure was a funny shaped boat, all long and narrow ... that must be why mum said it was a narrow boat. She's good at stating the blinking obvious!
This is me with Dad and Ros, Oscar B's mum. His dad was driving the boat right from the back, outside. I don't know why but we dogs weren't allowed up there with him.
Have you ever seen blackberries like it? Mum and I picked loads on our morning walk one day. She put hers in a bag, I just ate mine. Some were a bit prickly.
Ok, so this is the Llangollen canal, it's at a place called Chirk. What you can see in the background is an aquaduct - bit scary I must say.
There was a very sad bit of this holiday. Partway through Dad had to go home because of his work. Mum walked him to the train (I wanted to go too, but she said it wasn't a steam train so I wouldn't be interested). Then when she came back Mum's eyes kept leaking so I kept close to her and hugged her. I missed Dad so much too.
Eventually we got up to Llangollen and in the very early morning Mum and I walked all the way on up to Horseshoe Falls. She read out the information so I could remember it and write it down here.
This is where the canal starts! It's really the River Dee, but the falls were created to divert some river water down a man-made channel called a canal - clever stuff!
