Llanrwst in North Wales

We arrived, eventually at Bron Derw in Llanrwst on Sunday 6th Feb 2011 - we were delayed by nearly two hours as the A470 was blocked, both ways, due to flooding - 5 miles from our destination, so we had a two hour detour, which we were overly impressed about, so a lazy day was in-store for the Monday.
Tuesday saw us drive into Betws y Coed to have a little wander around the town - it was nice to be able to walk around without too many visitors. We then had a drive down the A470 towards Ffestiniog, the weather was just beautiful - no breeze & lovely warm sunshine. Heading towards Beddgelert we then drove through the valley nr Bethania & up towards Snowdon. (There will be photo's to follow - but only when we have an internet speed greater than GPRS!)
On Wednesday we went upto Conwy & visited the castle, which was great, we were blessed with lovely weather again. In the afternoon we strolled around the town & bought the biggest vanilla slices you have ever seen, yep they were yummy too.
Thursday we had a relaxing stroll down the river, although the weather was a little cooler it was still very pleasant.
Today is another relaxing one, just getting things packed away ready to depart tomorrow for Chirk, nr Wrexham.
