We have just returned from a week in North Wales. We hired an AirBnB in Colwyn Bay and spent the week sharing with family and visiting friends. Three of our five sons were attending the Word Alive conference. One stayed mostly on site while two others travelled n with their families each day. My wife and another son travelled in one day. I did see a little of the conference on YouTube but this was a real holiday for me. The map above reference the places we went. Word Alive was in Prestatyn and we were in Colwyn Bay. I have mentioned that we were in Denbigh and Wrexham on the Sunday and spent the afternoon in Pentre Halkyn.One day we went in and had a look around Llandudno. Another day we went to Bangor, Eleri's alma mater. We walked on the pier, currently pier of the year (voted by its piers no doubt). See more here. We then crossed the Menai Straits to Anglesey to visit an old school friend of Eleri's, and her husband in Dwyran. They took us for a nice beach walk to Llanddwyn. Another day we visited another friend of Eleri's and her partner on a nearby farm in Llanelian yn Rhos. There were a couple of walks along the front at Colwyn Bay and in the town. It sound a little busy but was certainly not with plenty of time to sit in the parlour in our four bedroom airBnB. I don't know North Wales well so it was good to be there again. The boys enjoyed Conrad Mbewe and Bruce Ware.

Fancy not visiting Portmeirion. And what about llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Anglesey, did you go there?
Yes, shame to miss Portmeirion but we did go through Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. It has a Waitrose, which reminds me of a very old joke about an American who came into the Waitrose there seeking help to pronounce the name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. He said can you tell me the name of this place but please say it very slowly. The assistant replied "W...AIt...ROOO...SE".
