Our last full day in Wales - Katie and I went to find the old Roman remains. The Romans made it to Wales in 48 AD and this place, Caerleon, was one of the three places the Romans set up a military camp. So there is a lot of remains left behind.
Old burial stones
The Roman museum with all the Roman artifacts.
Grr!! I'm a big scary Roman!!
Even had tweezers lol we literally think of nothing that the ancient people didn't already have.
They even unearthed a tomb with some of the skeleton still in tact.
Part of a wall and what it used to be colored like
If we were in Roman times, this place would've been rich! Look at all that money!
How the military slept
This was funny. So they had a kids part of the museum with games for them to play. One was the Latrine Game where you had to dig around the latrine to find the mice like the men used to do except with plastic mice now. Great learning exercise….
Another game - you dropped your ring in the Goat poo bucket, better get it….
Roman gardens
Old amphitheater - it was huge!!
people for scale lol the one time the random people in my pics come in handy
Mini photo shoot time!
Where the ancient barracks were
Roman baths
What the Bath's used to look like with a place to work out and do exercise.
I'm Roman now!
Part of the hot/cold rooms - what we'd consider saunas but one room was hot and another was cold
After Rome, we went out for lunch and found this hilarious sign. They are very honest here in Britain.
Found this hidden garden
And this guy lol just enjoying life and ladies you know ;)
Biggest spoon/dragon thing ever
Statue commemorating the battle of Camlan when King Arthur was battling Mordred his incestuous son. King Arthur delivered the fatal blow to Mordred however he received a slight knock in return and this weak blow symbolizes Britain loosing her strength.
Interpretation of Geinevere's throne
Arthur's throne
Scones, cake and tea!
My new two favorite tea flavors!
Yes a Michigan store made it all the way to Wales!
We finished out our night in Wales with Welsh beer called Brians. It was very good :)
