2017/08/02 Great Britain Day 08: Caernarfon's Castle, Beddgelert Village, Snowdon
π 2017-08-02 01:01 in Greatbritain2017, Ntrips, Trips, Uk

Day #8: Rain, and more rain that ruined our time around Snowdon, especially the ride to the top :(

After breakfast, a short-ish drive to Caernarfon's Castle, an old british fort, still in good shape:






We got to see someone play the organ in the nearby church, very cool:


We then drove to Beddgelert, which was supposed to be for a nice walk around, but it was just pouring rain:




Next, we drove back to snowdon, a mining town where slate is harvested, for our train tour to the top:







And last was going to be our mining train tour, but the weather was just bad and we didn't get to see much for more than half the trip:
