Left Cnapan B & B after a great breakfast and a cosy sleep. We set off on an adventure to find a little Jewellery Showroom out in the boondocks near Cardigan that we saw in a brochure. As luck would have it we drove right to "Jewellery by John and Victoria" where Gemma spied of couple of pairs of earings she just loved, so late birthday gifts from me were duly purchased. As their brochure states "these creations are inspired by the coastline, by textures, by natural forms and by John and Victoria". John was actually in the workshop area creating some items and we had a chance to see him at work, what a craftsman. You might see Gemma wearing her fabulous new earings in our pictures!
We continued on up the west coast of Wales through a little rain and sunshine heading for Caernarfon in north Wales and our overnight stop at the Premier Inn. The drive took us through pretty little towns with brightly painted buildings and doors and the many shorelines we viewed are spectacular. Caernarfon is a fabulous town with a huge castle in the centre of it and actually North Wales is filled with historic things to see and do. The hotel is built right on the harbour and is very comfortable. The area is called Snowdonia and we had a lot of fun exploring the area on foot after settling into the hotel in the late afternoon. This little town is very pretty, dominated by the Castle and Walled City which has lots of restaurants, shops, cafes and pubs!! (what a surprise)
We met a lovely family at the Black Boy Inn, a young couple with two kids here on holiday from Liverpool - so had a nice visit and a few laughs with them. Then three guys from England who work for the Gas Company joined our lively group and we had such a ball with them. It was just one joke after another (they were here on business if you can believe) but obviously enjoyed each others company. What a great night - we walked home to the hotel had a quick coffee and watched a little tv, although we both fell asleep - must have been all that fresh air (or the refreshments listening to the 3 yorkshire men) tee hee.
