With the weather forecast looking promising for Wales and Sara's commitments this weekend called off we booked a b and b in Anglesey for Friday night and headed off Friday morning .
Went via Llangollen and Betwys y coed,stopped off at this lovely place for a picnic.
The scenery is just stunning through Snowdonia even at this time of year.
After some light refreshement we continued on towards the Menai Straight crossing and took the A545 to Beaumaris,a lovely coast road then back over to the A5025 on the east side of the island to Amlwch for our overnight stay.
The view from our room was quite nice
Had the roof down all day once we got off the A50 dual carriage way but a coat and hat was needed to keep the chill at bay,it was about 8 degrees.
The area we were in is called Bull Bay and well worth a visit,had a nice meal at a restaurant only ten minutes walk away from the b and b .
Couldn't wait for the next day to come around so didn't sleep too good but Saturday morning soon came round with the syn shining and no rain so after a cooked brekky we continued our tour of anglesey .........after a few pics
Kept going anti clockwise towards Holyhead and stopped off at this lovely bay for more pics
I had heard how good the race track was at Anglesey so we thought why not stop by there but there was an endurance race going on so we didn't go into the circuit ......£15 entry fee each,only wanted to have a nosy round and a cuppa.
Some absolutely fab roads and they were mostly deserted
From there over the Menai Bridge........
........and back into Wales and onto Caernarfon castle for another cuppa
Bloody 4 quid to park there........robbing b******s . I did try to barter the price with guy taking the money.......i said look ere boyo we only have two seats so it should be half price.......he replied it's always the people with flash cars that try it on,and grabbed my fiver ......well I guess it was worth the compliment .
On from there back into Snowdonia on the A4085 which has a few lakes along it and the Ffestiniog railway runs beside it
Can't upload any more pics so will continue on another post..........unless you're asleep by now
