There's nothing quite like waking up in a misty sea town. After a lovely breakfast at the Cartref Guest House, we headed out to the Isle of Anglesey and explored Beaumaris Castle. I knew it already thanks to the model in the Encarta Encyclopedia we had on our first PC when I was in middle school... but nothing is like actually walking through the gate and climbing to the top of the tower!
We said it was going to be our "castles and gardens" trip, so of course we followed up Beaumaris by driving through Bangor, Betws-y-Coed, and Llanwrst (beautiful walk near the woolen mill and stop in) on our way to Bodnant Garden. The colours were changing in the wilder gardens, and the formal gardens were pristine in their green.

Our route to shrewsbury was a little roundabout... we sort of routed ourselves through the middle of nowhere (oops) and enjoyed some rugged Welsh scenery before tucking into the Buck's Head Inn for dinner and a sleep :)
