ITINERARY:
JOURNAL ENTRY:
Drove to Holyhead to tour the
South Stack Lighthouse.
Had to walk 403 steps down to the bridge to cross to the island where the lighthouse was located.
Went on a small tour where we walked to the top of the lighthouse and heard a history lesson about
it. Of course, we then walked back up the 403 steps. Whew!!!!!!
Followed another short path down to see the Ellin's Tower Seabird Centre. Not much there. Continued walking alon the shoreline and found some super yummy lime ice cream with real lime bits in it. Then had a picnic by the shoreline, with peanut butter and raspberry jelly sandwiches. Spent some more time sitting in the grass and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Drove back to the B&B in Criccieth and Barb crashed for the evening while Phil took another walk around town.
PHIL'S THOUGHTS:
The weather has been mild during the trip. This day was one of my favorites. The sky was clear, as
you can see from the photos and there was a lot to look at on the tour. Had a wonderful chat with the
volunteer tour guides. Had questions about the equipment which they kindly answered and we talked
about other things that were part of the display.
