luckykaaFinally achieved the task that eluded us last time we were here! We have visited Conwy castle. Decided to book ahead this time because last time we couldn't get in.
As it turns out it probably wasn't necessary. I think the problem was the previous time we were mid pandemic and there were a lot of restrictions. So we finally saw the castle. It has many towers and I decided not to climb all of them. Really nice views of Wales.
We had a lot of time left parking so flickums took us on a a 30 minute boat trip. Which was a terrible clever idea because this was when it started to rain. So we looked out of the window and saw the sights along the River Conwy. All fun...
Then I based the side of my car on a raised bit of kerb. Ooops. A nice man returned the bit that fell off. I really need to take Arachnia to a body shop one of these days though.
Pondered having another go at the tramway. Felt that the queue was still a bit long. Might have given it a go if it was a little less late but they don't offer returns after 3pm and I wasn't sure we'd get tickets in time. It's a shame though. "Riding the Great Orme" really sounds like something from Dune.
Decided instead to return to where we're staying. We chose an expensive place because we wanted the ability to chill, so we chilled with board games. Gave Disney Sidekicks a go. The instructions weren't very clear. It really needs a glossary explaining what henchmen are in the game. The rules are all over the place. We won, but only because we don't understand the rules.
So that wraps up another day. Early start tomorrow so we'll try and clean up the place this evening.
