Tuesday 2 October 2007-I get off in good time this morning and make the short drive to Caernarfon (which
rhymes with Bar Marvin, sort of). The old town, built along with the castle by Edward I as part of his Iron Ring of Welsh
suppression, is enclosed within a wall. The walled town is small, but the castle is large, and impressive in several ways.
Not least is its architecture, cribbed heavily from Mediterranean fortifications seen on various Crusades. (See again
The Castles of Wales.) The passages through the castle
walls and up and down the various towers are convoluted and confusing, and I spend several hours exploring the nooks and
crannies. In fact, I tire before I've done it all, and take a bit of a look at the town before settling in for coffee and
email at an internet cafe. I am well behind in cyberspace, and spend a good part of the afternoon there.
I'm back in Llandudno by late afternoon, and decide to have dinner at the Queen Vic before ensconcing myself at the Kings Head. I'm not sure if I'd like to stay in Llandudno again, but I'm a lot happier with it than I was when I arrived, and I've come to enjoy the stroll along the Promenade on the way to and from the pub. I never did get around to the tram up the Great Orme, nor did I even walk out on the pier. There always seems to be a reason to return. Next |
