Holyhead

We have just spent an absoulutely fantastic weekend in Holyhead, which is in Wales. we arrived here on saturday lunch-time and the weather has been great. It rained a bit both nights but i don't mind that as long as it's nice and sunny in the daytime.

On saturday evening we had dinner at the pub next door to our bed and breakfast. It was so hilariously funny, because I specifically ordered the lasagne with salad as suppose to the broccoly and cauliflower bake, which came with chips. However, when the dish was brought out it turned out that half the plate was full of pale, partly-cooked, soggy chips with a dish of lasagne and a tiny salad garnish.

I told the young waitress that I wanted salad instead of chips and she said in broad welsh accent "there is salad there" pointing at my garnish. I showed her the menu and said that the meal was supposed to be with salad only and no chips. She informed me that because it says "crispy" salad it means that it comes with chips. Wow, it really is true that you learn something new everyday!!! I must admit the lasagne itself was home-made and absoulutely gorgeous.

Yesterday, was a really nice day. We went on the beach and had a wonderful icecream whilst watching people launching their boats, some brave kids swimming, and people having picnics. We went for a nice walk on the sand and a paddle in the crystal clear water. The sea was actually not as cold as I expected but I wouldn't have wanted to swim in it though.

After that we went to visit Helen's stepmum. She was a lovely lady which I instantly liked even though I had never met her before. Very bubbly and talkative she was and I felt ashamed that the sea air made me so tired that I was nodding off whilst sitting there.



Last night we went to Anglesey, to a really nice pub restaurant. I had the most fabulous seafood salad I have ever had in my life. It was so nice that I had to take a photo of it. It consisted of: prawns, smoked salmon,crayfish, king prawn, olives, lemon wedges, orange slices and loads of salad stuffs. In the centre the was a pot of seafood sauce and there was also tartare sauce available. I felt like I was in heaven eating all that and didn't know where to start.





Today is the last day here and we are moving on to our static carvan holiday in Aberystwyth for a few days. It's 8am and sadly it's raining but we are hoping it will brighten up later.
