We wake up at 8 (the advantage of children falling a sleep at 22), pack our bags and clean the apartment. Bye bye ducks, heron and horse! We had a great time here.
It’s an hour drive to Chirk Castle in Wales, a 700 year old marcher fortress. The castle was sold for 5,000 UK pounds to Sir Thomas Myddelton in 1595 and his descendants continue to live in part of the castle today.
The castle only opens at 12, so we explore the garden first. It’s very hot today, 30 degrees, and the children need to pee so it’s not a relax stroll.
We make it back in time to the castle and explore the inside after a quick toilet visit. The inside is nicely decorated. We can even play some chess (« schakelen » according to our kids) and we choose our favourite bedroom (the furniture, view and wall paper are the most relevant).
We buy a peppa pig book in the bookshop and go back to our car for another hour drive to our appartement in Rhos on Sea. We arrive at 15, drop our stuff and drive to the busy coastal town Llandudno to meet Maria, Frank (friends of Olga) and their kids. Today is the final day of their holiday and their house is only a 20 minutes drive from ours.
We spent the afternoon at the busy beach, swimming, looking for crabs, eating melon and finish with fish and chips while Kasper and Sam run around to chase away the seagulls.
At 19, we drive back home. Play a bit in our garden to calm down before we call it another wonderful day.
