Thanks everyone, I really intend to have a wonderful time, we have no particular itinerary or even meals in mind, so we will just make our way around and take one day at a time.
I have lots of warm clothes to layer - as I am looking at the extended 15 day forecast which is calling for -7 and snow!?! hopefully that is totally wrong.
Can you tell me about the dragon at the castle, is it an attraction? or a feature? does something happen there or is it just something to see?
