Hiya!
Dave has been my taxi driver and luggage transporter for the past few days. He is the nicest man I have met in the past few decades. He spent many years working at U.S. military bases and has traveled extensively.
The tide is out.
I had to climb over these rocks, but don’t let their shorter size fool you. They were slick and pointed and easy to get hurt on. Luckily, I made it over.
There were a number of boats just sitting stranded on the sand. I guess they can only use them when the tide is in, but they can only bring them back when the tide is in? Quite limiting.
A little more dicey part of the trail. You can see the steps on the left side.
Actual trail! Woohoo!
Look at that view. I am finally walking atop some cliffs. Stunning views and pretty fierce wind. Of course, that means I have to walk some steep uphill. No pain - no gain.
As you can see, I am getting higher and higher up. Pant-Paint, Gasp, Gasp.
I have been trying to get a photo of this bird for several days. The Oystercatcher is a very noisy wading bird with a loud 'peep-ing' call. On the coast, it eats shellfish, particularly cockles and mussels, which it either prises or hammers open with its strong, flattened bill. It has a distinctive orange bill and black-and-white coloring.
More tricky rocky terrain to traverse.
Another place to fish, Christopher. Anglesey offers world-class sea fishing, featuring diverse shore marks and boat trips for species like bass, rays, huss, wrasse, and tope. Prime spots include Holyhead Breakwater, (right where I am) Ty Croes (rocky, deep), and sandy beaches like Rhosneigr or Lligwy. Summer offers mackerel and tope, while winter attracts codling and whiting.
I stopped at Ann's Pantry for lunch. Ann’s has been a part of village life in Moelfre since 1926, and I could easily see why.
It is an immensely popular place. I ordered a falafel and hummus sandwich on hand-baked French bread. It had roasted red peppers and caramelized onions. Yum! It was accompanied by a salad and some coleslaw. I ate the salad, and I brought the bigger half with me for tomorrows lunch.
Especially for Barbara and Paula. Isn’t this the cutest little knitting store that you have ever seen?
I am staying at Bryn Awelon, which is a modernized farm B & B.
Look at this 1970s Ford. Our hotel host had this car and several other really cool cars.
I had a marvelous pub dinner. The special was sea bass filets with lemon. No complainats here. It was really good. And of course, what would an English dinner be without chunky fries?
My daily total came in at about 12.5, with some diversions and walking back and forth from my hotel, which is a half mile from the village.
Good Night and God Bless!
