Monday 31st
We took all the dirty washing to a launderette
and got it all clean and dry. Then stopped in
Northwich. Later we decided to go into
Liverpool and see Aunt Ivy and Uncle Tom.
We had a lovely visit, they made us very
welcome and we had tea and the kids played
snakes and ladders. Uncle Tom did not seem
too well, but showed us all the house. In the
evening we went around Liverpool saw the
docks and the new Roman Catholic
Cathedral and walked all round the outside--
very impressive-- but rather spoiled by the
discovery that the carvings were made of
plastic!
We drove through the Mersey Tunnel-- I did
not realise that it was called the Birkenhead
Tunnel!
Tuesday 1st Sept
We drove through Chester to Wales, the first
miles were terrible-- depressing and ugly--
but when we got to Colwyn Bay we saw the
beauty for the first time. We entered the
Snowdonia National Park Area and found
Camp Site all along the way. We settled on
this one at Pendyffryn Hall right under the
mountain. It is rather a noisy site but
beautiful-- the sea clearly visible across the
road.
Wednesday 2nd Sept
We set off this morning to see Conway
Castle very impressive and in a good state of
preservation-- you could see what it was like
to have lived in such a place. The turrets very
high and the climb quite an effort and
dangerous at the top. Lindsay tried to see
over the top and nearly gave us all heart
failure.
We drove on to Llanrwst and met a very
angry policeman. Did we run over his foot?
