On to Anglesey

Image
We decided to drive around the coast of Anglesey which we thought would take about three hours. Alex had a sore throat so we found him some lozenges. He kept taking left turns towards the sea off the main road and we kept getting stuck on dead-end roads in small villages with honky-tonk resorts. We were directly across the Menai Straits from Plas Menai and Caernarfon. When we got to where there was a designated walking trail, we parked and decided to do a looped trail that Google showed us. No one else was about. On the way out, we scrambled along the rocky shore, which had clearly been maintained for walkers. We did not wear our hiking boots and we should have. It was quite wet and our running shoes were soon sopping. This part of the island was lovely, with deep blue-green sea, high rocky coast and sheep feeding in fields above. The wildflowers were just waking up and it was lovely in the sunshine, but chill wind.
