Still enjoying Wales and its lovey country roads. Friday we went to Anglesey, over the Britannia bridge. The Menai susension bridge is visible about half a mile away. Presumably they need two for the volume of traffic. Our first stop was Amlwch (chocolate frog if you can say that correctly). We did the graveyard there and as usual it rained. They used to mine a lot of copper in that area. Wales is very rich in minerals and ores. From there we went to Bull Bay, again looking for ancestors. It's a lovely little port and we might have stayed longer but for the rain. Now we know why all the valleys are so green!
We motored back via Caenarvon as I wanted to get my photo taken in front of the castle - over 60 years ago my dad took a photo of me there, a skinny little girl with white fuzzy hair.
The castle at Caernarvon is impressive but the town is just a mess of tacky shops and dirty streets.
Men - note the E type jag!
Is that really pronounced chocolate frog? Are you going to visit Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
