Off to Caernarfon to see a Castle

Today looked like a good day weather-wise to do something outside. We could have gone to the beach, but we decided to drive to Caernarfon to see the big castle there instead.

It takes about 40 minutes to get there, and the drive is mostly easy motorway stuff. We found the car park, and as it was just outside the castle, we also found that.

The castle is magnificent and pretty large. Edward the First knew what he was doing when he built it, and others here in Wales. It's still here and still an imposing structure. The photos may give some impressions of the size and grandeur.

We spent quite a while walking in and around the castle. Then we walked around the pretty town of Caernarfon.

Our trip back was a bit more stressful. We wanted to recharge the car, and we confirmed my previous investigations that this part of the country is poorly served. We eventually located a suitable charger, but my 'special' app and the provider weren't working well together. Eventually, I signed up to the provider's website (their app was no good because it wouldn't load on my 'New Zealand' smartphone). Once I did that, it all worked as it should. The air was blue for a while, though.

We then had a good trip back. It was well worth the effort.Read more
