A little drama to start the day - we couldn't open the front door of Morfa Lodge to get going! Perhaps we weren't doing something right, I don't know, but even on our return we couldn't re-enter that way. Happily we could leave through the kitchen and lock that exit behind us.

Air Museum

We had a modest morning of tourism. We saw the Aircraft Museum where a Dalek greeted us as we entered! I always like hearing Exterminate spoken with emphasis! A focus on helicopters as agents of search and rescue, and planes colliding with the mountains which Wales has (it is different being here to living in Cambridgeshire which is rather flat by comparision).

Parc Glynllifon

After a bite to eat in the airport cafe (well patronised) we then went to Parc Glynllifon which had a stately hall in need of TLC, and extensive grounds where they do forestry. Pleasant place to stroll through the woods and glades of. I got two Welsh birthday cards for my friends Alex and Howie.

Fish And Chips

Supper was a perfectly fine fish and chips from AllPorts in Porthmadog. We didn't order online but it didn't take long when we rolled up to order then to wait.
