Today we are going from Cardiff to Dover. We have to change trains in London plus take a tube ride from Paddington station to St. Pancreas. I just want to hop off, and go to a matinee while in London but I will have to pass.
Below one can find a few pictures of the Caernarfon Castle in Wales.
Greg is in there. Can you see him?
I started out going to the top turret, but began to think of the trip down and never went any higher than half way up. Greg went to the top and took pictures from up there.
We stayed in Caernarfon and visited the Castle while we were there. Climbing up the turrets was fun, but only a rope to hang on to. The stairs were built so people had to hang on to the rope with the right hand, most people being right-handed. That way, the owners and defenders of the castle could push the invaders down the stairwell as they were attacking. It is hard to defend with a weapon in the right hand when one has to hold onto the rope with the right hand.
I have not been to this castle. I shall put it on my list of things to do.
