In North Wales - Chie's Family in the UK
In North Wales
Monday 25th June 2007
The weather wasn't that great today, but we did battle against the elements for a bit of a day out regardless - taking in some local coastline, a bit of Snowdonia, and Caernarfon.
Chie's Family in the UK
|
|
|
| 14:08:40 One of the little bays near Dad's house - this one always looks particularly dramatic in stormy weather. | 14:08:44 Yes, you definitely wouldn't want to be out on a boat in this weather! | 15:51:20 After giving up on going to Portmeirion because of the somewhat inclement conditions, we decided instead to go for a bit of a drive around Snowdonia. The rivers were really swelling around here! |
|
|
|
| 15:52:18 Chie in front of an Aberglaslyn sign - this is the name of a sort of outward bound school trip centre I stayed at near here when I was a kid. | 15:52:50 After a brief spell outside, everybody wisely returns to the car! | 16:09:03 The waterfalls coming down the sides of the mountains were rather dramatic. |
|
|
|
| 16:09:10 ...a bit of a close-up. The water was so white and fierce it looked more like snow. | 16:09:27 A grey but nonetheless nice view out over the valley. | 16:09:50 Forays out from the car to take pictures were all somewhat brief! |
|
|
|
| 16:14:23 More water cascading down the side of the Snowdonian mountains. | 16:15:23 Really doesn't look all that pleasant outside does it? | 16:24:55 Everywhere we looked there were these torrents tumbling down the mountainsides. |
|
|
|
| 16:25:09 ....that's a lot of water! | 16:59:00 In Caernarfon now, and the weather had calmed down a bit. | 16:59:16 Chie and her Mum in front of the castle. |
|
|
|
| 17:16:24 Very nicely done crenellations. | 17:17:42 The Welsh flag is flying up top there. | 17:18:18 I rather liked this little door (perhaps technically a sally port in castle nomenclature?). |
|
|
|
| 17:19:43 Walking along by the yachts in the harbour. | 18:25:31 Back at Dad's house now - and a random picture of our hire car. | 19:01:31 Chie and her Mum clearly enjoying themselves over a late tea! |
|
|
|
| 19:06:13 Three men on a pew. | 19:14:20 I think I underwent some indecision before finally eating this cake. | 19:14:28 I think Chie is in charge of the camera here. |

| 19:14:31 Chie's Dad appears to be giving me a bit of a funny look! |
