Leisuring in Conwy Bay

Our stay in Conwy (Deganwy Marina) has become a bit longer than expected.
Here's a view of Conwy Bay from Conwy Castle.

The marine is very good, but we vacated the boat Monday night.
We had a nice room at the Quay Hotel in Deganwy and enjoyed a fine sunny evening by the sea.


We will have to wait untill Sunday 11th to set course southwards as there is a depression with a lot of winds and rain on it's way from the south.
Our plan is to sail from Deganwy Sunday morning for Milford Haven. Should be there Monday at noon. Then possibly Tuesday from Milfordhaven to Falmouth.

Today we spent a few hours sightseeing in Conwy and to see the Castle there. The castle and city walls was built started 1285. The castle looks very pictoresq from a distance but on the inside it has fallen into ruins. But the building of it all took just 4-5 years and cost 15.000 pounds - a huge amount at the time.

This is a model showing what the village looked like beginning of 1300's


The next ones are from inside the Castle.
