A fantastic castle and changing of the guard

Another lovely day weatherwise – amazing for Wales! This was our designated ‘lazy’ day. Partly as we were tired from Tryfan (many aching muscles…), but also as Julia had to head back to London later in the day which meant no big excursions. Craig and Sarah etc headed off to Port Meirion, but we decided to venture into Caernarfon and go and check out the castle. It was a seriously cool castle – looked just like the ones we used to draw when we were kids! We also ambled out along the bay for a while which was just lovely. Unfortunately that sparked the urge for fish & chips in us, which then sparked a fruitless hunt in the town as there didn’t seem to be a chippie – despite it being a town on the sea! So all feeling very disappointed we settled for a very sub-par lunch at a café on the town square. It is a lovely town – but some of the inhabitants were a tad odd… Loads of Welsh being spoken tho – more Welsh than English which was interesting.

Then it was back to Rhosbodrual, Julia left, me and Fin enjoyed a beer in the sun, and waited for Craig and Sarah to return from their adventures. And about 7.30ish the changing of the guard was complete with the arrival of Owen.
