Recommendations for Wales

The whole town of Hay-on-Wye is filled with book stores that will mail purchases to Houma.

At the castle, you buy books with the "honesty method"...put 30 P in a box for a paperback and 50 P in for a hard back.

Make reservations early to see a play at the "New" Globe Theatre in London.
