Caernarfon, Wales - August 7, 2025

We arrived early morning at Holyhead cruise terminal, at the northwest tip of Anglesey, Wales. For our day's excursion we boarded a bus for Caernarfon Castle, a wonderfully preserved castle that was built by King Edward I of England to secure his power over Wales. The route took us over the Menai Strait at the Britannia Bridge which gave us a good view of the Menai Suspension Bridge to our northeast.

Our guide at the castle was very knowledgeable and led us around every nook and cranny of the whole place. Following the tour of the castle, we explored the town of Caernarfon a little and found ourselves some lunch. Then it was back on the coach, a second crossing of the Menai Strait and back onto the ship for dinner, and departure to Liverpool.
