Here are some more stories from the UK! In this edition, I go to Caerleon, so if you are currently suffering from Merlin "feels", you may wish to skip.

LOL with the drink. Classy!

Was it eerie to be in the amphitheater? I find ancient open spaces oddly peaceful and unsettling all at the same time.

Modern!AU, awesome. Poem and art, also awesome! Sounds like you had a great time, and saved a bunch to boot!

[amphigoury]

Yes it was! Even more so because I was alone. It was very quiet. And I didn't think they just let you down in on the arena floor like that! Oh man, standing there was.. just.. wow. HISTORY!!!!! Like, people stood on this spot in fear. People *died* here. Maaaaaaan!

[altocello]

Had a similar moment in Trier, Germany. We got to go underneath the arena floor, which had filled with water from all the rain, so you had to walk around on boardwalks over the pools. It was beautiful, but eerie, and that was WITH other people. I kinda kept waiting for the Afanc to jump out at us, lol.

Too soon? I have to admit, that made me roll laughing!

I applaud you for taking the initiative to go out and get to where you wanted to go. I've never really been one for packaged tours, I like exploring too much!

The town looks cool but the AMPHITHEATER!! I am a total history nerd, so yeah, that fuels my engines just thinking about it.

I can't wait to see what your trip inspires you to create :D

[amphigoury]

I've never been on a package tour before, lol.. so who knows?

Yeah that amphitheater was something else! The whole town has history all over it! There are Roman barracks and baths, and walls --- ooo the walls!!!

CAERLEON!!!!

I just took the train and bus as well. it's a really cute little town. did you go to the roman baths as well? we had a hard time finding them when we went there*g*

[amphigoury]

I knew about the baths, but didn't go because I heard there was an admission, and then I heard there wasn't, and IDK.... I knew where it was, and walked along the outside of it.

NEXT TIME! LOL!

I really want to go here now! Roman + Arthurian=the perfect mix for a Merlin and Eagle fangirl. :)

[amphigoury]

Oh yeah! You'd be happy as a pig in mud! ^___^
