North Wales trip 20-22 Jun

Aunt Nic was here to visit me from 18 Jun.. so we decided to take 3 days to go to North Wales and Snowdonia for a visit. It was quite a last minute trip, and the train tix were too ex by then, so we rented a car to drive all the way. Thanks to Liping for driving throughout the trip, with some relief driving from Aunt Nic and myself (erm only bout 15min or so for me though!)


At Llandudno




Very strong wind..


The Great Orme Marine Drive






At the Garth Pier at Bangor


Caernarfon Castle - the Prince of Wales castle


View of Caernarfon from the castle








Tour of Llanberis Lake on the Llanberis Lake Railway. We wanted to take the Snowdonia steam train actually, but we accidentally took this train by mistake :( quite disappointed..






Vivian quarry - diving courses are held in the quarry.


Driving in the fog...


Snowdonia's Swallow falls




Welsh coast off Holyhead at Isle of Anglesey.











Although the weather is quite bad (as you can see from the overcast sky), it had been a very relaxing trip at a slow pace.
