We had an excellent night in our new appartement. Our bedroom has French doors to our garden which gives very good vibes. We enjoy our breakfast in de garden and pack our swimming stuff.
A perfect sandy beach is at two minutes walk. We build the biggest sand castle of our life, but next to us is a body builder with a giant spade building the biggest castle ever. Olga feels competitive and shovels two hours straight to ensure our castle is still impressive next to the giant castle.
We also go for a swim, and at 11, Tim goes back to do the groceries. Olga and kids leave at 12, the moment that the sea demolishes the biggest castle, but not our castle. However, our neighboor Henry of 1 years old crawls over it in the meantime.
We enjoy lunch and a bath and we’re ready to visit a real castle of stone: Castel Rhuddlan. A castle with 7 towers, an Outer Ward and a river wall, next to river Clywd. The river was rerouted to supply the castle from the sea. We climb all the towers and can easily envision the trebuchets and catapults.
As the sun has passed its high point we revisit the beach to built another castle. Cleo and Olga build while Zeno destroys everything. We have dinner in the garden as a perfect end to what seems to be the last sunny summer day for some time.
