May is a month of 2 Monday bank holidays, so Christina came to visit and we went on a quick excursion into North Wales. This almost didn't happen due to a bit of linguistic misunderstanding in Swenglish of when 'next weekend' actually was. I got that dum, de dum dum feeling when on the Wed before the weekend in question I asked her where she wanted to go she said there was another week to think about it so why worry now? A change of ryanair flights was still cheaper than the other alternatives that needed to be considered.
So she came and we went for a drive, staying a night in Llandudno, which is partly how I imagined a British seaside town to be. The city itself reminded me of old Aussie country towns, with a central grid of a couple of streets in Victorian style. What I liked about Llandudno was the curvy, hilly streets around it, which always adds a bit of interest for me. There was also what I guess is a typical beachside pier with small shops and amusements and such, all a bit naff and tacky. Yay! Finally some naff seaside amusements!
