It was a beautiful sunny day in Conwy, but cool out of the sun, with a high temperature of only 17 degrees.
We decided to walk over to Llandudno to check out the promenade, so we set off around 10 am. The tour buses were already rolling into Conwy, to see the UNESCO World Heritage site, but once we were over the bridge we had the path pretty much to ourselves.
By 11:30 we were in Llandudno and walked out onto the pier. It is amazing to see the row of houses seemingly going on forever around the bay. Today they are mostly either hotels or restaurants, but back in the day they would have been homes of the wealthy, with great sea views.

When you have a 4 storey high building, cleaning the windows must be a challenge, but it would be made a lot easier if you could do all the cleaning from the ground. All you need is a really long pole with a cloth on the end....

We had a light lunch, checked out the shops on the main streets, especially the book stores, and headed back to Conwy. The sun was at a much better angle for photos of the castle today. The castle was completed in 1287, and the walls are still fairly intact more than 700 years later.

After a 20 km walk today, we had a light dinner at an Italian restaurant and relaxed with an episode of Poirot on ITV3.
