We arose to what has been described as a typical Welsh day...cloudy out one window, sunny the other. The good news...no rain. We enjoyed another breakfast with Debbie and Andy here at the Annan and then headed to the station.
Today we headed to the nearby town of Conwy - home to a fantastic Edwardian castle (12 or 13th century I believe). The castle is a national historic site and still a big part of the town. We had a chance to roam the castle walls (again - with no much warning or saftey as we might have expected back home), towers, chapel and gates. It was a truly impressive sight and a real treasure to anyone who enjoys knights in armour.
After lunch, ice cream, and some treats from an impressive bakery we walked back to Llandudno Juntion across the foot-bridge to the train. After a few miscues (and our locating the McDonald's, Pizza Hut and KFC) we made it to the station. The entire time we were being trailed by what appeared to be the same seagul (not the one who dropped me a special package the night before). Sherri had Kieran convinced she had hired this one to keep an eye on him!
We enjoyed our last meal in Wales at a pizzeria run by a lovely east-Indian couple...truly a tourist town. We're off to Scotland tomorrow by train. We go as far as Glasgow and then onto the highlands.
Great Travel Blog. Have fun in The Highlands and greetings from Nanny Judy!
