Holyhead, Wales

It took as a day of train travel and boat travel but we finally made it to Wales. It was pretty cold and very windy. Wales and especially the Isle of Anglesey have been in the news a lot recently as Will and Kate live there and RAF Valley where the military is based is close to Holyhead. We booked a B & B who the cab driver told us was the best in town and our host Len was really friendly and told us where to eat dinner and where not to eat dinner. We took his suggestion and ate at a restaurant called the Boathouse which was really good. The next day we had to switch to a hotel. We tried to book the B & B but our room was booked and the Captain of the ferry to Dublin was staying in the other room downstairs. Jeff had become pretty sick with a really bad cold so the next day we didn’t venture out to much except for the grocery store...it was raining and really windy anyways so it wasn’t so bad. One thing that was surprising was the taxi fares in Holyhead. Everywhere we have been taxis have been really expensive but they were so cheap here which was great since we had so many bags.
