Where we went part 10: North Wales, 28 May.

This morning we cruised to the Welsh Coast: to Holyhead on Holy Island, and drove across Anglesea which itself is an island, heading a fair way south then east to Portmeirion village and its gardens. After lunch at a pub in a pretty little Welsh village, Betws-y-Coed, somewhere near Snowdonia, we drove through the Snowdonia region to Bodnant Garden, bordering the River Hiraethlyn. After wandering around there we headed back to our cruise ship via the north coast of Wales. We didn't get over to Liverpool unfortunately, no time! But we did see a third of Wales in one day.

Betws-y-Coed - my walk after lunch.



Bodnant - I went for a long walk here.



It is very hard to select the best, here are only some of the day's photos.





































Edit: for lunch we had Roast Welsh Lamb in Mint Sauce with New Baby Potatoes and Vegetables, followed by Strawberry and Cream for desert!
