28 Sept. Warm, very warm. Hit 28 today. Brought cloths for 15-16 degrees C

Started off as an ordinary day, ordinary in a nice way. Then the extraordinary occurred, Bob was wrong. First the ordinary, in a very good way. Kippers, smoked haddock, perfectly poached eggs for breakfast.

Stopped for ice coffee before departing. Here they make it by putting the contents of a double espresso into a blender, adding ice, and running the blender. Foamy and surprisingly good.

Toured Conwy town and then headed off to Bowness. Got there with some mis- directions. Turns out, contrary to Bob’s instructions, the post code does not work, at least not here. The proprietor of the hotel explained, yes, there is a problem.. Takes you to a vacant corner. Possibly explains why the Brits use the full address in addition to the not so unique post code.

Nice walk to Bowness proper, fine marina and good town.

Dinner quite good but horrendously slow service. We left without getting coffee as it was approaching 2 hours. Assume that they will just charge the room.
