A Sunday in and Around Llandudno

Seagull on a Boat

Last night I went to bed early (before 9 o’clock); I was very tired and my feet hurt because of all the walking yesterday. I woke up early this morning; my feet seem to have recovered. I decided to get up and take some photos of the seafront at Llandudno; I was there by seven. There were very few people around at this time; some of the photos I took appear in this post.

After another excellent breakfast, I lay on my bed and read Mike Rutherford’s book, The Living Years, for a bit. I need to take care walking today; I need to try and walk a lot less.

Tapps@Rhos

The Tapps@Rhos micropub opens at midday on Sunday, so I decided to visit it early in the afternoon, like at opening time. I got to Rhos just after eleven and had a mooch around the town taking some photos of the seafront, which are in this post. There’s not a lot here, but at least the beach has sand in places, better than Llandudno.

Tapps@Ross is an excellent micropub; see this post.

Initially, I thought I would skip taking photos of the Waverley today to rest my body. After three pints I decided that if I carried on this way I was going to get pissed. I also decided that I needed to see the ship again; it was the reason for my trip here. So, I caught the bus back to Llandudno.

If it wasn’t for Tapps@Rhos I’d never return to Rhos-On-Sea.

Waverley Paddle Steamer

Back in Llandudno, I walked along the pier again (it was more crowded than yesterday) to get photos of the Waverley. You can see them in this post.

I’m glad I made the effort to go. I now have photos of the ship arriving and departing from the end of the pier.

Drinking and Resting

The walk along the pier started to tire my feet, so I went straight to Tapps, Llandudno, for a rest and a beer. For the rest of the day, I need to keep the walking to a minimum.

After a couple of restorative pints sitting at the bar, people-watching, I caught the bus to Conwy for a short session in The Albion. Followed by fish and chips from the Archway fish and chippy.

I also decided to visit Tapps@Conwy again to see if it was not so busy. It was, so I left after a quick pint.

Then back to Llandudno for a quick pint in Tapps (I’m really starting to like this micropub). It was only meant to be one, but I was enjoying reading Mike Rutherford’s book The Living Years, sitting at the bar. Nearly two hours and three pints later, I went back to the guest house to sleep.

I drank a lot today, but it was over ten hours, so I didn’t feel pissed at the end.

Another excellent day spent in and around Llandudno.
