Wales day 2

Bettws-y-Coed and Blaenau Festiniog

02.09.2011 - 02.09.2011 semi-overcast 24 °C

We headed further into north Wales today, spending some time in Bettws-y-coed. Nice little town, lovely church and boasting a railway museum. It is obviously a "destination", because the place was packed, but we couldn't really se the attraction.

We then visited the slate mines in Blaenau Festiniog. This was not recommended by our hosts, but we found it a fascinating place. Two very good tours of the historical mine, including one that took us 500 feet underground. More on this to come.

A very nice meal back in Llangollen, and now it's time for two tired kiwis to go to bed - still adjusting to new time zones.
