July 28th – Caernarfon Castle

Had a rainy day today and while we drove through Snowdonia National Park, the clouds were too low to see much of the mountains. We did pass by a steam railway and of course we had to make a short stop.  It was very interesting but the ride was too long for us to stop long.

Caernarfon (pronounced car-nar-von) Castle and the town were interesting.  There was a museum for the Royal Welch Fusiliers inside the castle and it was very interesting. This unit was only somewhat involved in the Revolutionary War and was the last unit to hold out at Yorktown when the British surrendered.

Linda had Welsh Rarebit for lunch and it was wonderful (unfortunately it is made with ale so I can’t have it)

We are able to walk into Conwy and had a nice dinner at an Indian restaurant.  I have had Vindaloo before but it wasn’t as hot as it was today.  Looking forward to walking around Conwy tomorrow and seeing the castle, an Elizabethan townhouse, and the rest of the walled town.  This is our last day of touring in Wales before we drive back to London on Sunday.
