You can bank on Wales

So much food for breakfast. It's a good thing that my previous attempt to eat black sausage made me exempt it from my hot brekkie. I also managed to get rid of my mushrooms. It was a big day for me as I tried marmalade for the first time.  I was right in not previously trying it.

To the car, and the one way tiny windy roads. First stop a little town and a pretty ordinary antique fair, so I'm told. I fared better and got some new cycling gear. The next town, or previous, had a woollen mill. Then there was a narrow hilly windy road that had the added attraction of also having cyclists to dodge. Then off to Caernarfon castle, one of Edward 1st's accomplishments. I love a good castle and this one was up there. Then we sped off for the Great Orme and a tram/cable car up a mountain. We made it in time and had enough time walking around the pastures to make us declare that sheep poo and our shoes may have come into contact. Declare to customs that is.

After a long day it was good to find a restaurant that serves pizza and pasta. I think they call it Italian. I did squeeze in a 3km run including a run up the very hilly driveway of 70m (because it was there). The 3rd km was the fastest which gives me a glimmer of hope leading into the upcoming selection races for triathlon Australia.

Spent the rest of the night packing and watching Top of the Pops episodes from 1980.
